While it may be soft and lovely, Homespun is definitely not going to make a regular appearance around here. The stuff is not much fun to knit with, at all, and Olivia agrees with me. It is possible that on different needles it would work better. I have read on a few blogs that plastic yarn likes plastic needles. I still use bamboo for nearly everything, and would rather find different yarn than buy different needles so that I could test it out. On the plus side, since I don’t hold Homespun in very high regard, it caused me no pain whatsoever using much of the remaining skein to stuff the rabbit. This worked out great, considering that the square wasn’t knit very tight, and was therefore pretty see-through and penetrable. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Diane for her comment last week, inspiring me with the idea. I honestly don’t think I would have thought of it on my own. At least not before trying many other severely less intelligent methods. So Diane, I thank you. Stuffing the bunny with it’s own yarn worked out loverly.

Yes, that’s a bunny butt.

At the birthday party, Olivia forgot to mention that she made the gift. I can’t believe that! I would have thought she’d be obnoxious about the fact, being so proud and all.

Here are some additional pictures from the bunny shoot, in case you are interested. I used to designate these links for family, but I am getting that some of you out there like to see my kids!
