soft toy bunny

good afternoon crafters.

welcome to my soft toy share for today. 

a super cute bunny using two of my patterns from: mary jane's tearoom

my cute rabbit has been knitted using two types of wool wich will be listed shortly.

as always i have to say these patterns are easy to follow and i have even managed to add my own little diamond pattern to her dress.

for my project i have used:

pattern bunny: bo

DMC Natura just cotton in white & canelle (caramel)

needles: 2 3/4 mm (uk size)

pattern dress: tearoom dress

james c brett ARIA double knitting in white (shade z1)

just love the sparkles

needles: 3mm (uk size)

white button from my stash

stuffing:

100% high loft polyester filling (hobbycraft)

for this bunny i have substiuted my needle size and used slightly smaller needles as listed in the pattern so to keep my stitches closer together so the stuffing will be kept in place, the body has been knitted in mostly white (except her neck area has been knitted in caramel) and her panties i have knitted in garter stitch. For the ears i have knitted those in garter stitch and the shoes i have omitted the shoe bar. 

i have a little conumdrum crafters as this bunny could be gifted for a confirmation, a bride or a babies christening.

all it leaves me to say now:

a huge welcome to my new followers (i hope i can inspire you),

thanks for stopping by and looking and most of all

i hope you have all had a lovely easter.

enjoy the rest of your day and craft happy. Ann.

white teddy

good morning crafters and welcome to my share for today.

i have to admit i am enjoying my recent fest of knitting, and i throughly enjoying knitting up these soft toys and clothes by Susan Hickson:  maryjane's tearoom

today's teddy is completed wearing a cute lemon dress and shoes

my teddy:

these patterns i have found to be so easy to follow and will probably be knitting a few more over the next few months.

teddy sitting with her querky smile.

here's what i have used to complete her:

needles: 21/4 mm

4ply wool in white and lemon (acrylic) from my stash

she is small than the original teddy as i have used smaller needles and finer wool. 

she stands 9 1/2 inches tall and has been dressed in one of the of the tearoom dresses i have made.

i am so pleased at how this little cutie has turned out.

join me again soon for my next project.

thanks for stopping by, a warm welcome to my new follower, enjoy your day and craft happy. Ann
