Binary Solo

So what happened to the felted bunny?? I admit that many things happened to the felted bunny. His ears were too big and heavy and his head, too small. I only half-heartedly felted it and then gave up. It took forever to dry. And I knew from the very beginning that I would not do a very good job embroidering the face, so I did what came natural to me and gave up on that as well – even before trying to embroider. I am actually the most proud of that. Maybe next Easter . . .

But the flying by the seat of my pants did not end there. I decided completely off-the-cuff that I HAD to knit the Quickie Cowl as soon as the yarn shop opened on Easter Monday so I could buy a skein of Misti Alpaca Chunky as nothing in my stash would do. (Why don’t we have an Easter Tuesday and an Easter Wednesday too??) Don’t worry, this story has a better ending. Well, I am pretty sure it will have a happy ending as I have only knit half of it, but I love this yarn!! I dare someone NOT to love it. I had to laugh when one of my co-workers asked me if I would knit her a blanket with the Alpaca Chunky – I told her it would cost her in the upwards of three to four hundred dollars, and she asked if I could use a cheaper, similar yarn. I simply replied that if I knew of a cheaper, similar yarn that I would be using said cheaper, similar yarn. I did offer to knit her up a Quickie Cowl though for $20 and some change.

Regretfully I have no pictures for this post, and I thought of stealing some pictures off the web for visual interest, but I was overcome by the guilt. I really need to charge the batteries for the camera or just get some new ones. I do have this really old picture of my littlest monkey that I have never posted. Good times.

Toodles,
