Bunny

My friend Meaghan made this bunny for me when we were in the Peace Corps in Armenia together. I don't know what the pattern is, or what yarn she used, but I know bunny has been through a lot. When I first got bunny she helped me to teach prepositions to my Armenian students. We would play 'Where's Bunny?" "Bunny is in front of the table." "Bunny is under the chair." You get the idea.

Now Bunny has a new purpose. To help me procrastinate work. Yes, so for the next few days, or maybe longer if this entertains me, I'm going to post some pictures of the adventures of Bunny. Why? Because I want to, Silly.

So, without further ado, I introduce: Bunny.

Bunny Mail Project Continues: Bunny Kits!

I wish I could mail you all little bunnies as part of my bunny mail project, but alas I don't have time to knit so many little bunnies (not that I have a huge following, but enough to make knitting everyone a bunny a scary thought). So, I would like to give everyone the opportunity to enter in a drawing to receive a bunny kit!

What is a bunny kit you ask? 

Well a bunny kit is a little bit of pink, white, and black yarn (enough to make two bunny items) a pattern for bunny puppet and bunny ring, and a surprise all in a little plastic easter egg, sent to your address. 

What's the surprise? 

I can't tell you! Then it wouldn't be a surprise would it? But it'll be small enough to fit in the egg. 

How do you enter to receive a bunny kit? 

Well you join my mailing list. You can use the form below or the one on the left side of the page. If you want two entries you can also 'like' me on Facebook. 

What is I live outside of the USA?

Well, I've heard that other mail systems don't like mail in plastic eggs, so if your name is drawn and you live outside of the USA you will receive your bunny kit in an envelope. 

I will draw names on March 31, 2012, so subscribe to the mailing list and like us on Facebook before then! I have three bunny kits waiting to be mailed.

Bunny Mail

I'm currently working on a couple new difficult designs. They lead to lots of ripping out yarn and angry looks at my scribbled notebook. I felt like I needed a break from this exercise in frustration, and took a look around the internet for some inspiration.

I found this post from Giverslog about sending plastic easter eggs in the mail, then saw these tiny bunnies. Then when I went to the grocery store yesterday they had 6 plastic eggs for $1. So last night I began by knitting MochiMochi Land's tiny bunny, and then I created two of my own bunny creatures.

Now through March 31, 2012 you can enter to win your very own bunny kit! For more info please see this post.

Bunny Kit!

Bunny puppet, bunny nugget (from MochiMochi Land), and bunny ring

For all three I used the same materials:
DK weight pink yarn
DK weight black yarn,
Worsted weight white yarn
yarn needle
2.75 mm double pointed needles

Mini Finger puppet:

CO 12 sts on 2 double points and join to knit in the round

Rows 1-7 knit

Row 8: *ssk, k4* (twice)

Row 9: graft all stitches

Ears (make two)

CO 3

1-7: knit in i-chord

Sew on your ears

To finish use other scraps to sew on eyes and a little tail 

Bunny Ring

Using provisional cast on cast on 6 sts (leave a tail, this is what you will use to graft the ring together)

knit for 1.5" (or more, depending on how big the finger is) while always slipping the first stitch

Remove 6 stitches from waste yarn and graft all the stitches together

Pick up 3 stitches along the edge and knit in i-chord for 6 rows, break yarn and weave in the end

Pick up 3 stitches along the edge about 4 stitches away from the first ear, and knit in i-chord for 6 rows, break yarn and weave in ends

Use black and white yarns to sew on eyes and a tail.

Then I packed each bunny with a note about the bunny's origin, likes, dislikes, etc. with some stickers and a chocolate chick in a plastic easter egg. 

I loaded them up with stamps and addresses, and here's hoping they find their way to their intended recipients!
