No progress on the gloves this week. I got really involved in the clothes for the bunny. At first I had a feather and fan lace pattern on the skirt, but it failed, terrible. I ripped it out and knitted the skirt in my previous post, but that too wasn't quite right. I knitted a sweater, but it also didn't work quite the way I wanted to. Serves me right for winging it I guess! *sigh*
On Thursday I was bound and determined to make my failures into something fantastic. I picked up the ribbed stitches of the skirt and made it into a sundress (pictured last) it is still not "perfect" but it is "just right". The sweater I ripped out the last few rows and restarted it. I knit it into a sweater dress and again, though I don't consider it "perfect" it is still "just right".
Next for the bunny is ears, I started them on Friday. Then I will put her aside for a little while and pause my list to make a gift for a birthday I was just invited to. He is turning one, any ideas?
Thank you for all the lovely comments on the last post. Your comments really push me to have something to show for you for my next post!

When I "wing it" I'm almost always frogging later :( Can't wait to see bunny with ears!
ReplyDeleteReally cute bunny and the dress is just so cute ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the dress. Right now, she looks like a little lady, but I know ears will make all the difference in transforming her into a bunny!
ReplyDeleteSweet little project--and I applaud you for your efforts at winging it, which is something that has never happened in my knitting life. Like Lynn said, if I were to wing it, I would be frogging. I avoid frogging at all costs! Your attempts are quite brilliant.
ReplyDelete*smiles & cheery thoughts*
She is so sweet, I love the dresses.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress for the bunny, she will look even more brilliant once her ears are made. I'm not much help on knitted presents of little ones as I almost invariably crochet but Rebecca Danger has lovely monster patterns and also some freebies on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteWinging it never works for me unless I say it was meant to look that off..
ReplyDeleteBoth dresses are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThey turned out darling! I'm sorry you had to "frog" but I'm glad I'm not alone. I have made some things 3 and 4 times! LOL! I can't wait to see the bunny ears on her!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Sweet little bunny, now that she's dressed up...what are you going to do with her? She needs a name.
ReplyDeleteCuteness!
ReplyDeleteLoving the sweater dress, it looks great and doesn't look like you were just winging it at all
