Ha! I love this pic! The bunny is Max-a bunny I made for my sister last year for Easter (boyfriend of Ruby...check past posts!) and in his lap: a uterus! I am making uteri as a form of protest against the government trying to ban birth control in the U.S. Forgive me if you feel as if I am preaching...I will not turn this blog into a platform for my political beliefs so I will stop here. I did want to post pics of the uteri because I liked how they turned out! (Plus HOW CUTE DOES MAX LOOK WITH IT IN HIS LAP????)

I call this a drabbit! On the outside....a bunny! On the inside...a duck! Or a DRABBIT! I made this for my niece, Cheze. She is a Marine stationed in Ca and she recently came home for a visit. Unfortunately she had to leave BEFORE Easter so my sister (her mom) and I made her an Easter basket before she left: I HAD to include a hand-knit item because she loves them!

This octopus was made using the pattern from Amy Gaines' Little Knitted Creatures...it has long been my wish to knit every pattern from the book! I am now one step closer! (I know he has no eyes and he is purple in the book but I still think he is pretty cute!)

Warning: the next few posts will be pic heavy!

I have been busy knitting away and now have a whole host of pics I am ready to post! I use flickr.com to share my pics (unless I upload them directly from my computer) and I have a problem understanding how to share more than one pic through flickr.com at a time. If someone could explain it to me I would be forever grateful...and my posts would look better as well! I really to share my pics with everyone so please just bear with me as I post single pics at a time. I will explain what each pic is as I post them! Thank you!

My Needles have been CLACKING AWAY...

I am sorry that I have been away. I have been working steadily on a new baby blanket, so I have not had a lot of time to post anything here on my blog. I do not have any "IN THE MAKING" pics yet but will take some in the upcoming days and post them here. The pattern I am using is "Garter Rib Baby Blanket" that I found on Ravelry using Lion Brand in pale yellow (I think it is a nice neutral color for any gender) Here is the link: Garter Rib Baby Blanket  it is by O.F. Patterns and Tutorials. So simple yet so beautiful! Keep reading for pics and more posts!!! Thanks!
