After making a too small red dress for the previous bunny, I thought I should make a new bunny to fit the dress. Pink wasn’t the best plan… it really doesn’t go well with the red. Also, as it turns out, she’s a bit small for the dress anyway.

Luckily I found a pink dress I’d made at some point which was, I assume, too small for the bunny I made it for, but a perfect fit for this one. However, you can’t really have a pink bunny in a pink dress.

So I guessed the needles (2.25mm), and made a new dress in yellow and grey instead. Success. (Forgive the photos, the colour balance is all over the place).

Now I just need to make rabbits for the red and pink dresses – this is madness! Still. I’d been thinking of practising colourwork again, and actually, knitting the dots was a delight. (Except for the bits I mis-counted and had to unpick). There’s something really nice about seeing the dots appear, and I’ve got half a mind to work on a scarf or a sock in a proper colourwork pattern now. I need to relax my tension though, it’s still far too tight.

This rabbit is quite small – and looks even smaller in photos:

She also makes the first small rabbit I knitted look like an absolute bruiser – these are the same stitch counts, just different yarn. The pink is Krea Deluxe cotton and the white is Cascade 220 + a thread of a mohair mix.

Aside from that, I’m in the middle of knitting the second sock of a pair, but need to start a new ‘pick up put down’ project after finishing the shawl. I was also wondering about a jumper, but what I really want is group in real life to work through a ‘first sweater project’ together. I think I need help on measurements and gauge and… maybe it would just be nice, too? I just need to actually find a group near me at a time/place I can get to. You would think that would be simple in London, but it really isn’t.

Anyway. Onwards.
(The rabbit pattern is from Little Cotton Rabbits, of course).
