Bunnies!

[nonelvis]

Three tiny bunnies I made for platypus:





Made with scrap yarn from this free Mochi Mochi Land pattern. NGL, they're a little bit of a pain in the ass; you knit them on #1 circular needles or dpns, and the final bunny is the size of a jumbo olive. On the other hand, they're only a pain in the ass for about 45 minutes, and at the end of it, you have a tiny, adorable stuffed bunny whose adorableness can only be improved by making more.

Squee!!! Bunnies!

[nonelvis]

Gotta admit, I did squee a little after I made the first one.

[sanders268.livejournal.com]

WANT.

[nonelvis]

Hee! If you really do want some, I could make a few more.

[sanders268.livejournal.com]

Yes, please! I would be happy to trade anything you might want from out here.

[nonelvis]

You don't have to send me anything in trade ... although I wonder if those chocolate mochi would survive a cross-country trip?

Anyway, I can start making bunnies tonight. They really don't take long at all, so you should have some soon.

I made one, but I don't know DPNs well enough to handle something this tiny, so, after several failed attempts with the size 1's, I used size 2 regular needles and made a seam on the tummy. It was about the size of a small egg, and looked just fine, I thought. Completely forgot to take a picture before I mailed it! It was variegated light greens and white, with an off-white tail. The ears were a bit difficult to pull through one of those teeny stitches, because I made them three stitches wide. But the finished product was darling, if a bit larger than your little cuties.

[nonelvis]

I figured the pattern was probably pretty flexible, since the yarn I used was a little heavier than what I was really supposed to be using (which probably also explains some of the difficulty I ran into using such tiny needles). And yes, pulling that bit of i-cord through the stitches is much harder than it sounds! It got easier once I figured out I had to loosen the hell out of those two stitches before pulling the i-cord through.

If you do make another one, I'd love to see a photo of how it turns out!

So friggin adorable! Nice work!!

[nonelvis]

Thank you!

Holy wow, they are really, really small. So cute! Nice work.

[nonelvis]

Thanks! I knew they were going to be small when I saw the pattern, but the reality is that I look at them and wonder how I ever made something that tiny.

Ooooh, bunnies! If you have one left over, I'm thinking Nathan might like one, and if not, I'll make it mine.

[nonelvis]

I'll be making more for sanders268 anyway, so it's easy for me to make you one, too. But are you sure it wouldn't be a choking hazard for Nathan?

[profrobert.livejournal.com]

How tiny are they? He's pretty texture sensitive, so even if he put one in his mouth, I think the feel of the wool would get him to spit it out immediately. Certinaly since he turned two, we've never had a problem with him nomming non-food items.

[nonelvis]

They're about 1.25" long and 1" high/wide, not counting the ears.

[bunny42.livejournal.com]

Probably nobody will see these, because this post is way too old, but you said you'd like to see my attempt at the little bunnies.

Here 'tis. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/39298792@N04/5693697353/in/set-72157626537416809/)

The colors washed out when my brother took the pictures (he's the proud owner, ya see) but you can see what size it was and how cool the ears looked. I used size 2 straight needles, so he has a seam up his belly. But it doesn't show...

Being in FL, we have little use for mittens and gloves, so I never learned DPNs. Those little onesies are tough for beginners.

[nonelvis]

Well, *I* can see it, and I say that tiny stripey bunny is totally cute.

I always use circulars instead of dpns. If you know how to do that, you can use magic loop to knit things at pretty much any size on circulars.

[bunny42.livejournal.com]

Noooo, I meant nobody would see it because it's off the front page. I mean, how far back do you read, unless you have lots of time? Glad you like 'im.

I'll look into magic loop. Right now, I'm suffering through a shawl that started at the top with about 10 stitches and is now about 200 stitches per row. Takes way too long to get through a row. Increases four stitches every two rows. For however long I want to deal with it. No rules. I'll like it when it's done, but right now it's grueling. Strictly stockinette and garter. Maybe I'll post a picture. It has a kind of chevron pattern and it's so simple. Good for watching TV. Oh, I forgot to mention, it's on a round 10.5 bamboo needle. Not sure I'm enamored with bamboo. Mine doesn't seem to slide as smoothly as metal.

[nonelvis]

I learned magic loop to make the Adipose, and it's come in *so* handy for making amigurumi. dpns and my RSIs just don't mix, so magic loop is the only way to go for me.

Your shawl reminds me of the baby blanket I made that started out as a 6" square and ended up as a 40" one, with each row taking about 20 minutes to do. I'm sure your shawl will be gorgeous when it's done, but those long rows really do suck.

[bunny42.livejournal.com]

I had enough trouble juggling those silly little DPNs, without having RSIs. If I try them again, I'll use considerably larger ones. You kinda have to use them for the i-cord, though.

I confess to googling Adipose. *ducks*

[radiantbaby.livejournal.com]

Those are the cutest things I've ever seen! *grabby hands*

[nonelvis]

Thank you :D
