This week I'm racing to finish a knitted Easter bunny. The pattern looked so cute that I couldn't resist! It's the Well-Dressed Bunny pattern.
Sewing my knitted projects is a weakness of mine, though. Weaving in ends and stitching up seams is like punishment. I carefully hid almost all of the loose ends for this photo--there are actually around 16 that still need to be woven in. So I need to summon quite a bit motivation to finish this little guy. I'm hoping the holiday deadline will help.

Yesterday the first good mail in weeks arrived in the mailbox--a Martha Stewart Living magazine. As I flipped through it I was surprised to recognize a three-page spread of local places and foods. My hometown of Louisville, Kentucky is highlighted as a weekend getaway! Check it out. It's a cool city that I'm sure you'll want to come visit.

Are you yarning along this week?
What are you making and reading?
I've heard so much about Louisville, I'd LOVE to come visit one day (when we don't have so many animals to take care of and the kids are grown!).
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about finishing projects; it's still my least favorite part of the whole thing. But I'm always happy when I manage to get it done. Your little bunny is adorable.
It is a wonderful town! I also enjoyed visiting Lexington last summer on my way home from my honeymoon. My husband and I really loved your state! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bunny pattern is so sweet! I'm sure you'll get yours finished very soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable bunny; I may have to put aside my distaste of weaving in ends and cast one on too.
ReplyDeletecute bunny!! I hope you win the getaway, but then is it getting away if you live there? ;)
ReplyDeleteYour rabbit is looking so promising that I'm sure all that sewing will be worth it. Cheering on from the sidelines. Finish the bunny!
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is going to be so cute...are you going to make clothes for him/her? ♥ I hope you have a happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI hate weaving in ends too. I often compare it to sewing a hem on a pair of pants or skirt - that final little push is all it needs, but somehow...
ReplyDeleteWhat are your favorite places in Louisville?
i hope the weaving in goes quickly for you, your bunny will be so worth it when it's done, it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI am the SAME way...I do not enjoy weaving in ends or stitching things together!! :) The bunny looks super cute though!
ReplyDeleteI loved Louisville when I lived over there...
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the Hunger Games book 2 and that is why I haven't slept in days!
