Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

A Little Cotton Rabbit for Lucy's Mum

I have another piebald Little Cotton Rabbit to share with you today, I made this one for Lucy's mum.  Like the one I posted on Wednesday, this rabbit is made from Aron yarn, but this time I used 3 mm knitting needles, making her about 12 inches high (including ).


The pattern I used is actually called Boy Bunny with a Piebald Patch and it is available from Ravelry.  I decided to reverse the colour scheme from the last rabbit but it wasn't until later that I realised that this would give her a white nose!


Her eyes are French Knots, or rather a series of French Knots.  


I know there is concern about whether I remember to knit my LCRs wearing underwear.  As you can see, this one has puple pants.


and, of course, she has a large fluffy tail


More blue trainers from the Julie Williams 'Shoe Supplement' (which is available free from Ravelry), they are made in baby soft double knit yarn.  I think I did a slightly better job at tying the laces this time.


The dress design is called Seaside Dress by SuzyMarie and is available free from Ravelry, it is made from 4 ply cotton yarns.

Have a great weekend.

      Thank you Carol, I think this one looks much more girlie. Funny how exactly the same pattern can look so different, it is all down to the shape of the head.

      Have a great weekend.
