A term which could apply equally to me but at the moment I’m meaning this sleepy bunny

I was mulling over ideas for new rabbits and wanted to explore trousers (don’t we all?!). Then in the middle of the night earlier this week something Rebecca said about her girls taking their little cotton rabbits to bed pinged into my mind (anyone else get weird revelatory ideas in the middle of the night?) the answer was PYJAMAS!!! I’m not sure if these say jammies or whether the top needs to be stripey too but I’m hoping you’ll all give me your feedback. If the consensus is that jammies work then I’ll make some more, otherwise it’s back to the drawing board!

Thanks so much for all of your supportive comments over my copyright hassles. Hopefully it’s all resolved now. I don’t think most people who copy other people’s designs really think about the implications. Maybe it’s easier to justify when they know nothing about the person who originated the design or maybe they genuinely believe they are not doing anything wrong. Creating something handcrafted is a very personal thing – we’re not companies mass producing goods and so copyright infringement affects us personally. Legalities aside I think it’s more of a moral issue really – you just have to ask yourself “how would I feel if someone did it to me”. Anyway, enough said, climbing down off soapbox now, have a great weekend all!

Just a quickie before the weekend. I am still here (and mostly sane) have a few war wounds – mostly glue in my hair and ringing ears from all the pop music. The house is a tip but kids are happy, so who cares?!

Have been a knitting nomad all week and finished off some cakes on a pastel theme. Counting down to Monday and visualising an empty house, Ludovico tinkling the ivories and my box of yarn – ahhh bliss! In truth I think the hoover will be calling and I will no longer be able to ignore the washing mountain, still I can dream.

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

Have just managed to bribe Amy off the computer with a snack, so I don’t have long!

Have at last finished 3 ballerina bunnies for Amy and her friends. Am deep in the wilderness of half term (so far sanity is intact) but lack of knitting time is making hands shake and eye twitch. Have 5 days left and am determined to make it without crumbling. The camp guards here are merciless forcing repeat episodes of Charlie and Lola, hours of disco dancing to pop junior and sudden demands for food, perfectly timed to create distraction. Have already put phone in fridge and juice on cornflakes. Must stay focused, must be strong, knitting days will come again.

WAIT, oh no I can hear that cry “Mumeeeee…” must hide. Will contact again when it’s safe. Bunny Knitter Out.
