Bunny progress report

Here is the large bunny I previously mentioned I've been working on. The pattern is by Jody Long and is featured in Let's Knit magazine issue 4. As you can see she is nearly ready. I have knitted the cardigan and arms but not the basket or flowers yet. I was actually thinking of not doing the flowers as I can imagine they will be quite fiddly and time consuming and as it is supposed to be ready by next Saturday, I might not have the time!

January bag(s)

Having thought for ages about what bag to knit for January for the Knit a Bag a Month project, I have finally started one (well two actually).

I absolutely could not resist 'Audrey' from issue 3 of Let's Knit. It's a cute little cable and moss stitch bag - perfect for my first attempt with cabling. I was really pleased with how the cables came out and they were really easy too. I just need to add a handle and find some sort of felted beads as suggested in the pattern.

The other bag I have started is one I have made up myself. I would say it's one of my own designs but to be honest I just picked up the needles and started knitting - there was very little designing actually going on. I used the Rowan Spray I received from my swap partner in December. Just need to sort handle/fastenings. Will post pics soon.
