Birthday Lamby
Just a quickie note on an FO for Jessie’s upcoming birthday. I still have the bunny to finish and a bag to make to hold them. Crunch time! I’m pretty pleased with the way this on turned out. The arm and leg placement is better this time. Though I’m still not completely happy with the [...]

I am considering knitting him a frankenstein-looking cover. LOL! Step 1: In mixer bowl combine; then mix well on the “2″ setting. 1C [...]
