The Woolen Rabbit

A New Tune.....

I know that some of you out there enjoy it when Ashley puts up a new song video....so here is her newest one.  I think it is one of her best, even if the words are not always in sync with the video. :-)

I know her grandparents will love it....

Mara...

Pattern:  Mara
Yarn:  Woolen Rabbit Alpaca/silk/merino blend
(yet to be named...but in the store soon.)
Needles:  US size 7
Raveled: here

Ashley was a good sport to let me take some pictures of her in Mara today.  She was dressed in her "clean the house clothes and hairdo"...LOL. 
Guess I should have mentioned it to her, eh?

This truly was an enjoyable knit, especially for anyone who enjoys mindless garter stitching, which I do.

I used a marker to mark the yarn over side to make it even more mindless. :-)

The end result is an incredibly soft and cushy fabric that will be perfect to cuddle up in on a cold Spring or Autumn night.

I first saw this shawl on Ravelry and then I had the pleasure of seeing it on someone at Spa.  It was at that very moment that I knew I must make one myself and I am SO glad that I did.

And here's a little treat for those of you have asked what has happened to Ellie...no pictures....here's one for you.

Don't you just love her pouty little face?

Mara is finished.......

and ready for blocking....yay!  Ashley will be home tomorrow so I will take some finished pictures then. :-)

Bunny Parade....Happy Easter!

In celebration of Easter, I thought I would share my bunny parade with you all.  As you can imagine, Easter is a Woolen Rabbit's favorite decorating holiday.....actually, this Woolen Rabbit keeps a lot of rabbits around all year long. ;)

Above is a primitive style rabbit standing on an iron base.  Many of the rabbits I have are on the primitive side.  My kids think that they are creepy, but as I have told you before.......I think I like the creepiness. ;-)
(hmmm....what does that say about me I wonder?)

This is my brown prim rabbit.  I love his little blanket stitched nose and his crooked eyes...and his little pocket of sweet annie.  Yes, he may not be beautiful in a traditional way, but he is loved by me. ;-)

Pretty Rita in her Sunday best is gracing the top of my wood stove that has been put to bed until next winter.  She's a kindly looking bunny don't you think?

...and her sister Chloe is ready for Spring with her little bag of flowers.....she is a serious bunny though I do believe. ;-)

 
This pair of bunnies and their matching carrots live together atop my fireplace mantle.  Yes, they are a wee bit creepy, but how can you not love those button eyes and cute whiskers?

There are quite a few more rabbits who grace my home, but still at the end of the day I love rabbits like this the best.....

Beatrice...aka "The Bees Knees"...all grown up.

Have a wonderful Easter holiday!!
