Easter Prezzies

My cousin's fabulous daughters are joining us for Easter Brunch today, and after the bunny request, I thought it was only fair to knit them a couple of stuffed toys for the occasion!

Project Details:
Pattern: Jean Greenhowe's Bunny from "Jean Greenhowe's Knitted Animals", modified to be knit in the round

Yarn: Mary Maxim Starlette (100% acrylic) in Amethyst (605)

Needles: 3.5mm (US4) Holz & Stein Rosewood Circulars

Project Details:
Pattern: Jean Greenhowe's Puss in Boots from "Jean Greenhowe's Knitted Animals", modified to be knit in the round, and without all the fancy clothes... oh, and an extra ear because I knit no chapeau

Yarn: Mary Maxim Starlette (100% acrylic) in Amethyst (605)

Needles: 3.5mm (US4) Holz & Stein Rosewood Circulars

Christmas Dinosaur

Phew! I finished this lovely spotted stegosaurus just in time for Christmas!



Yep, I love him. As much as I love all Jean Greenhowe toys!

Project Details:
(You know I just want to link to the Ravelry info here)

Pattern: Pink Spotted Dinosaur by Jean Greenhowe, from Jean Greenhowe's Toy Collection
Yarn: Leftover Worsted Weight Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks, in Pumpkin and Winter Night.
Needles: 4.0mm (US 6) Addi Turbo circs... (man, does it feel strange to be knitting on big, metal needles, instead of tiny, rosewood ones!)
Knit for: Baby Cousin Lucas

He took me 3 days to knit - but only about 3 hours total knitting/sewing time. The finishing on him was very easy, as it always is on Greenhowe patterns - everything lines up just how it should. Ah, except that the first spines I knit were too long (my fault for changing yarns), then my second and final spines were a bit short. I like him this way, though! I think he looks like a punk-rock steggy with a mohawk!

Happy Holidays to all, and to all a God Jul!
