Despite the fact that I have made tens of projects since I last posted on this blog, it is another amigurumi rabbit that has inspired me to post. Here's why. Firstly it is my brother's first little baby, a son. I am so moved when someone has their first baby, because it takes me back to that transition that we all underwent when we had our children. Knowing how massive that transformation is makes me want to mark it with something home-made as an heirloom.
I am so proud of this little one. The thing I learned last time was that no matter how perfect the crocheting is, it's the face that will make the difference between something professional looking and something naff.
So I really took my time over this one, and kept unpicking the stitches until it looked just right and exactly what I had in mind.
Now I've put this on here, I might have to start back-cataloguing some of my other stuff.....
