Welcome to my Blog, a Crafting Year

Hello
I taught myself to knit in 2011 I have been posting photos of my knitting creations on facebook but as I am starting to bore my friends I have created this blog to record my progress. Then I thought I might try my hand at other crafts and see how I get along. I will try a different craft every month and you can read about my successes and failures and even laugh at my photos as I try different things like felting, crochet, sewing, papercrafts etc and try and make a few things from the kids favourite book Star Wars crafts, amongst others...lets see how it goes

Birthday Bunny

it was my nieces birthday last week, she was 6 and as I have a house full of boys I always enjoy making something a little bit more girly for her.


So in this issue of Simply Crochet they had a pattern for a gorgeous bunny


So I decided to give it a go.
It is crocheted in a spiral and is all piece work


I dug out a stitch marker and away I went, first the body...

It's starting to look like a bowl




This really shows the spiral pattern


It looks more like a pear now...


The ear


2 arms and 2 legs, legs have more stuffing but the pattern is exactly the same


I have already attached the ears and have started to embroider the face (not my strong point)


pink nose


attaching the head to the body


 Ta Dah!

But to take her out of the clutches of my son, I had to add a flower



So My bunny v magazine bunny...can you tell them apart??

   
I was very pleased with it and so it would seem was my little niece
