My Carnaby Rabbit

In 2011, I knitted a Carnaby Rabbit as part of a KAL (Knit A Long) but never got around to finishing her.  The pattern was reasonably easy to follow and quick to knit up.  The only thing I had trouble with is seaming which is why my rabbit was legless for over a year. Today I finally seamed her legs and sewed them on.  Decided not to sew on felt for the bottom of her feet so she is finally finished and ready for play with my girls :). My Carnaby Rabbit was knitted using “Carnaby Rabbit” pattern by Amanda at Fluff and Fuzz.  Sadly the pattern is no longer available for sale.   Sweater was knitted using Turtlekeeper’s Designs Simple Shrug pattern.  Yarn used was soft...

I had 2 spare silk scarves after making the Silk Scarf Butterfly Wings (blog post here) so I thought I would tie dye them as Play Silks.  I love the idea of Play Silks for kids as it allow them to use their imagination in pretend play.  So far my girls have been mermaids, superheroes and princesses :). Here are my first ever tie dyed attempts.  Pink one for my 6yo pink DD and a purple one for my 3yo DD. These Play Silks were dyed using Silk Dyes made...
