Duckies and bunnies! oh my!

Thanks to Lion Brand Yarn for the Fun Fur duckling and bunny patterns! With (a lot of) help from Suz, I made bunnies and duckies for a neighborhood egg hunt. In addition to hiding plastic eggs filled with goodies, we "hid" the ducks and bunnies around the park; we also had "special" prizes for the kids (ie, stuff that wouldn't fit in an egg) and once they found their duck/bunny they could come get a prize. It was a ton of fun and the little animals looked so sweet hidden in the park. They looked like they were having a great time!

More stuff for CF

I just loved this green yarn (Bernat Satin - Palm) - I used every last scrap of it and added a hat and set of booties to go with the blanket. The hat is another mock cable - so in love with this stitch, as well.

Blankie for CF

CF is Kelly's in-utero baby who will be here any minute. I started a different blanket for him (her) but I wasn't thrilled with it so I started this new one which I love. The stitch is a "mock cable" - achieved with a Left Twist.

The babies are coming!

How did it get to be April so quickly? The army of newborns will soon be upon us - and I've only finished one blanket. I've started quite a few - but only one DONE! So I need to work on that! I've been distracted by my new stash of cotton (thanks Joann's for having a kick backside sale!) - 6 new bibs ready to be laundered. There would be more but I've tried to be creative with the stitches AND use the new Vogue Knitting Book - which is already jacketless and scuffed up so that it looks like it's been in use for decades.

We have our big spring Penn State event (Blue White spring football scrimmage) in 2.5 weeks - I had plans to have made some new accessories for Suz and me - but nothing yet. boo hoo.

Oh, and I (finally) figured out that Creative Knitting is not a monthly periodical - every 2 months - how cruel. Can't they test patterns more quickly!

I need to take some more pix of the projects (the fun fur ducklings are really cute!) to share.
