lovely egg cozy

Veröffentlicht am von Carina6 Kommentare

It was probably right around Valentine’s day when the stores started selling Easter Chocolate, Easter eggs, Easter jelly beans and Easter candy. There were still another two months to go, but you would get all sorts of Easter decoration at the drug store and Easter greeting cards at the stationary shop. Easter EVERYWHERE! I did my best to ignore all of that until …

… I ran into Crazy Dazy’s  lovely Egg Cozies. And before I knew it I found myself in an armchair knitting a little bunny lady.

The pattern is easy to understand, anyone used to knit in rounds with four (or five) double-pointed knitting needles shouldn’t have a problem to follow. However, this little lady will stay single, a lone wolf … Knitting something that small, those tiny ears, embroidering the minuscule nose, and making a mini pom-pom is definitely not for me. Sadly!

Fortunately, Easter in our house is with hard boiled eggs that do not need a cozy 🙂 Consequently, the lady will either become a stuffed animal and live with the boy or move out …

Update in 2019: the pattern is no longer available for free. It can be bought at ravelry.

Bunny? Done.

It took me quite a while, longer than I expected, but the bunny is finally finished. Every little stitch, every turn of the hook, and all the adjustments along the way took time, patience, and a fair bit of trial and error. But seeing it all come together in the end—the shape, the little quirks, the personality I tried to give it—makes the effort feel completely worth it. The bunny is done at last, ready to hop into the world and bring a little bit of handmade charm wherever it goes.

… Christmas Decorations

Christmas decorations are popping up everywhere I turn, and the urge to do something a little different, a little unexpected, got the better of me. That’s how I ended up picking up my crochet hook and starting a bunny. Well… almost a bunny. So far, the little guy doesn’t have a head yet—just a body and legs for now.

To get inspired and figure out what to do next, I laid him on a blank sheet of white paper and sketched a head on top. Seeing it like that, even just on paper, made me think, “Hey, this could actually turn into something!” Somehow the mix of crocheted body and imagined head feels playful, a little quirky, and full of potential. I can’t wait to see how this bunny—or whatever he becomes—takes shape.
