Starting off is a bunny of a different sort :) I was able to stitch this little guy up in a flash! He's a little freebie pattern from Ginger of Primitives By the Light of the Moon. I used some neutral-striped calico from my stash and DMC 498. I didn't take a pic of the back, but I used an off white wool felt.
I did his tail in French knots. I love the way it turned out!
And then just a simple blanket-stitched edge :)
I've also been knitting socks for Hubby...
to replace these:
He likes plain 'ol socks. No funky, stripey ones. No fun colors. No patterns. Thank goodness he doesn't have huge feet, lol!!!
40 stitch basic stockinette worsted weight sockssize: men's medium
yarn: unmarked worsted weight, superwash wool

WooHoo! Have a Great Weekend Everyone and thanks for stopping by!!!

Adorable bunny. Good job on the French knots and perfect buttonhole stitches!
What an adorable bunny--love that blanket stitch!
Re the socks, it's too bad those brown ones sacked out; I LOVE the colour combination! Of course, the new ones are also quite nice. :D
Fantastic bunny! I love those french knots! And I am sitting here realizing my feet are cold after seeing those lovely socks Staci!
what a sweet bunny! and I love the french knotted tail :)
Staci , these socks look so cozy. love the colours as I am sure your hubby will too. You are going to have a wonderful collection of Easter rabbits by the time Easter rolls around which isn't too far off is it? Your scissors are wonderful. I am going to treat myself to some nice ones in April when my bday comes . Have a fun weekend!
Love the bunny. Such cute little knots for his tail.
Looks like your husband loved his socks a little too hard! Glad he has a loving wife to make him some more.
What a sweet little bunny. Love his french knot tail.
What a sweet bunny!
Love the socks!
Cute bunny -love the French knot scut!
Staci, I just love your little bunny and your finish is delightful! There are so many wonderful little bunny charts to choose from.
The new socks are great, that would be my husband, the plainer the better (he's an engineer through and through).
Enjoy your weekend.
I love the bunny... what thread did you use... it looks so thick and nice!!!
Socks... They have become my Mom's new obsession!
What a lovely little bunny he is, and such a lovely cotton tail!
Lovely socks, they look so warm and cozy. My DH is a plain sock man too, he'll wear anything as long as it is black :-) x
Cute bunny and fab socks. Ohhhh I have my sock workshop in a week! Just hope I don't embarrass myself. x
Very sweet bunny, and I love the French knots for the tail! Lovely work Staci! Thanks for the link to the pattern.
Nice new socks for hubby. You can tell by his old ones he loves your knitted socks!
You never cease to amaze me! Your stitching is so cute and love the way your finished this one! Too cute.
Love the socks...
Oh, what a cute little adorable bunny tale!!! Love the french knots, that was a great finishing touch on him. Great idea!!!
Staci,
What a perfect time to be stitching a bunny. Lets hope that Spring in hopping in right behind him. He really is gorgeous.
The socks look so cosy. I don't usually wear socks but it's been so cold recently i've been borrowing the odd pair from DH and they are definitely not as nice as yours :>)

Oooh, what a sweetie. I just love his tail!! Your French knots rock! I think I might refuse to knit plain ol' socks... ;o)
I always enjoy seeing what you're working on =) Have a great weekend!
Love your bunny!! TOO cute and the pillow finish is lovely :)
Have a great weekend!
Very, very cute bunny!
Love those socks, even if they are plain. The man I hang around with wears size 13 shoes. I think his shoes come with oars. Imagine how big I'd have to knit slippers to felt for him!
Love your scissors in the previous post. You've found some nice ones. Remind me to stay away from ebay.
I love that little bunny! Great job Staci. Love the socks, too--YGG! I think if I had the talent to knit socks, I would only allow them to be worn when the person is sitting on the sofa and the feet are propped up on the table, LOL.
Awww what a cute little bunny, just love his adorable tail!
Hmm, worsted-weight socks on size 5needles? Can you see the hamster running on the wheel inside my head already? Where can I find the pattern? I know it is pretty basic, but I have yet to "invent" a pattern for socks. Still need to follow the professionals.
great socks
love your version of the bunny
spring is just a hop away
Such a sweet bunny finish - love the knots his tail looks perfect
Adorable bunny - so cute.
Awww~~ Such an adorable finish!!! The bunny is toooo cute~~~
Those socks look very warm and comfy!!!!
Love your sweet little bunny... sometimes simple is the best. And what could be better than his/her tail done totally in french knots!! :^)
Hi Staci,
Awww... Your newest little bunny
is adorable!! Love the french
knot tail. He looks wonderful
on the pretty fabric that you
stitched him on and the blanket
stitched edging finishes the
piece off perfectly.
Lucky DH to get to wear socks
knitted just for him by you.
Nice serviceable colors. Too
bad he doesn't like the stripy
socks though. I think they're
funky looking. When holes
wear into the heels of the
socks do you try and darn them
for continued use or are they
too far gone to save??? Then
again, it's a great excuse to
keep knitting new socks, isn't
it??
Your scissors collection is
really growing these days. The
Americana scissors are very
striking to look at, especially
when gathered all together in
the frog. Hmm... wonder if
there are any Canadian scissors
out there???
Cheers!
The bunny is just adorable and the french knots are great !
Just love the bunny and the 'French Knot' tail!! very cute.
The socks for your husband are wonderful - superwash will have to pick some of that up and give it a try. What sock pattern do you use for your husbands socks and what size needles.
Have a great weekend --- Roberta
What a cute bunny! The blanket-stitched edge really sets the piece off. I can see your knitting needles are still busy these days - lovely socks!
You are the queen of French knots! What a perfect rear end for your bunny. Those socks look so toasty warm - wish they were on my feet right now.
Such an adorable bunny, especially the perfectly executed french knot tail! The socks are great, too. I can tell your hubby is loved.
Your bunny is so sweet! Love the french knots for the tail. I definitely have to learn how to make socks. They look so warm and comfortable!!
Such a cute little bunny. A different one this time, which makes for a great variety of bunnies for your spring decoration.
Such a cute bunny!!! Love the french knots. That is one thing I can't seem to master. Yours look perfect. :)
Ahhh...is that bunny pillow sweet or what? Love the tail.
Too sweet! Love the bunny tail..
I bet your hubby loves his new socks. Lucky man!

I hope DH has toasty and warm feet.
