Keeping with the toy-making theme of late, today I finished a knitted bunny for Tum Tum.  It’s a Debbie Bliss pattern made of leftover bits of Cascade 220 my sister-in-law gave me.  The pattern was very easy, and I liked the shaping, although if I make it again, I will alter the ears – they are stockinette and are therefore supposed to curl in, but I think they look a little crude compared to the careful shaping of the rest of the bunny.

Purple may not be every boy’s favorite color, but, it’s his Mama’s!  Firecracker has christened the bunny “Hippety Hop”, and I think she wishes he belonged to her instead of her little brother.   

So far, Tum Tum just likes sucking on the ears…
