Hello all, let me introduce you to my first knitted rabbit toy which has taken me since the summer to reach this stage! (Partly because for a while I thought I had lost the magazine pattern so for a couple of months there were various unfinished rabbit boy parts lying around much to the perplexment of my other half, hehe).
She does currently remain unfinished and, ahem, un-clothed the poor thing so it's now on to the dress before she gets cold, although I first have to work out how to do 'yfwd' stitch first as I haven't done that one yet. Hopefully it turns out as per the picture...
I was flicking through all my craft book collections today and remembered that I had this new 'Patch!' book from Cath Kidston that I still hadn't done anything with yet... I don't normally buy books at full price when they are always loads cheaper on Amazon, but on this occasion I did because I managed to get it signed by the lady herself.
As I work near Selfridges and Cath was doing her book signing in there soon after I finished work I though 'why not' and actually had a little chat with her about fabrics and sewing which was fab! Worth paying full price for I think.
You get a little fabric kit with the book so you can make your own bag or cushion out of patchwork.
Such gorgeous prints....
Some lovely pictures and projects in there...
I really love this picture showing the combination of printed fabric appliqued on to knitted material...so sweet.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends!

I love your knitted bunny. She is really cute. Love the book and signed how special. A real keepsake and fabric too, I will have to look for that on amazon. Enjoy your week. Can't wait to see bunny's dress. xoRobin❤
ReplyDeleteRabbit is brilliant! So impressed, it looks just like the one in the illustration. I'm sure you'll have no trouble making her a frock (Or you could always mix media and sew her one?)

Popped over from Dee Dee's, having seen your comment re Kirstie's book.I got a copy from TKMaxx/Homesense for £12.99 instead of 20 quid! Bargain!
ReplyDeleteHow fab to meet Cath K. Love those yo-yo(?) patches. Must learn how to make them, one day.
