I am so lucky to be part of a knitting group with such very talented knitters — I have been exposed to so many great projects that have inspired me to pick up my needles. Kathy (beloved friend and sidekick to Decorah, IA) brought in a set of the cutest felted bunnies you have ever seen. Inspiring, yes, but I did not feel like making a bunny. So, I made her an offer that she couldn’t chose not to refuse: I would knit her something and she would knit me a bunny. The item she chose from me will be revealed later this year (stealth knitting as it were), but I ended up with the original bunny o’ my dreams!!
Lil Bunny Foo Foo
You can see how cute he is, but you cannot tell how soft: butter soft out of wonderful alpaca. The pattern is Wooly Bunnies by Marie Mayhew — a local designer we are proud to call our own!
There is still time to make one of these lil cuties before the real Easter Bunny makes his appearance!!
I really want one of these. They are so cute!!!

I want to kiss Bunny Foo Foo! Loved the little diorama you set up for him. Very fitting that the “grass” strongly resembles the dreaded “s” word which we are supposed to be getting more of this week.

This felted bunny is just too adorable!!! How lucky you are!, but I think your friend, Kathy, will also be a very lucky recipient in the end, too!
