My first little project is this cute little rabbit finger puppet. The pattern is by the incredibly talented Linda over at Natural Suburbia. My little one just loves it. I am hoping to knit up an entire family of little rabbits. And I may even try my hand at a few other animals. Using these little puppets to tell stories during her circle time come fall will be a special treat. She is so excited to have her own "school" time. At four it really isn't going to be school, but more of a Waldorf early kindergarten year. (more on that later)
It's hard to believe the year is half over. And that means it is time to start thinking about Christmas gifts, especially the ones I plan on making. This scarf is one such gift. It is the Kudo Wave Scarf . The pattern is quick and simple. this is the second one I've knit and I still love the pattern.
This yarn just arrived in the mail this week. Hopefully it will become a purple version of Seamless Blue for Bekah for Christmas. My only concern is I have to increase the size on the pattern. Wish me luck. I'm still not really comfortable adjust patterns too much.
As for reading, most of it has been related to the soon approaching school year. I have most of my ducks in a row, just a little tweaking. We have a lot planned for this year. Lots of new! Lots of fun! I can't wait to get started even if the girls are trying to squeak every drop out of summer. Hopefully I have some school items to share soon.
So what are you knitting and reading? I'm always so inspired by the weekly yarn along. My project and reading list just keep growing. So I'm off to check out some of the other yarn along participants. I highly recommend you visit some of them too.
I would love to learn to make a few animals for Gabby's "school" basket I am creating for her.... they may not come out as lovely as yours (wow! you did that perfectly!!), but would be worth trying!
ReplyDeleteLove the little rabbit :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little bunny!
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is such a cutie! I hear you on the Christmas gifts. I've started knitting for Christmas already too.
ReplyDeleteI love your little bunny! I'll have to check out that pattern b/c my boys would love that to join their puppet collection.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to think Christmas gifts too. Good luck with your pattern adjustment!
Love that little bunny with those whiskers.
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is too cute, and I love that sweater pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat's going on my queue immediately.
Finger puppets are so great! I've always been amazed that someone can knit that small! Did you say it's time to think about Christmas? Say it isn't so!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat finger puppet is gorgeous, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern for the jumper looks fabulous too - good luck with your sizing!
I made note of Linda's bunny finger puppet last week too. But I wasn't ambitious enough to make one that fast! Whew...
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is beautiful... so colorful, I have a feeling that I would like the person who is going to enjoy the rainbow creation!!
Blessings, Debbie
