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.

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.

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.

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.

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*
