Last week SUCKED.
I won't be elaborating, this isn't the place, but let's just say I've been in a bit of a funk since last Wednesday.
What better to perk me up than knitting two tiny hats that look like animals?
Remember the quilt I made for my new cousin Celia? I decided that she and her older brother needed bunny hats for Easter. Naturally. What else would you make for a newborn and a toddler of mixed faith? But I'm hoping bunnies can mean spring as much as they mean easter- and let's face it, they are part of the secular easter and not so much the church one...
The photo is lousy as I finished the hats at 10pm last night and dashed them off to the post office before the tax day rush...and in so doing nearly forgot to photograph them at all! Hopefully I will get some adorable photos of the hats being worn, and I will share those.
(((((((((hugs))))))))) cute hats!

Those are too cute for words! Did you use a pattern?

Cathy, I did- though you barely need one! It's a basic roll brim hat with some ears stuck on, and the face embroidered... I got it out of this book:

It's an adorable book, but 80% of the patterns are a basic roll brimmed hat.
