Submitted by brookeworm: my newest piece. as most of my friends and family know, giraffes are my favorite thing. this is my first real attempt at painting something completely inspired by that love. (I think I’ve been so scared of not doing them justice that I just haven’t). But, he turned out awesome. “Stand Tall” is my new favorite piece.

Theres nothing worse than getting out of a hot shower or bath to have your toes frozen on a cold floor! A hand felted Alpaca bath matt is the ideal solution; Alpaca is wonderfully soft and because an Alpaca’s wool has hollow fibre’s it makes the felt feel warm to the touch.

May 15, 2012.
My original “Spring Bunny” crochet pattern is now available on Craftsy!
http://www.craftsy.com/user/pattern/store/476288
“Spring Bunny” is the first amigurumi pattern that I’ve ever published!!! This is a huge accomplishment in my crafting life, and I want to thank you all for being so encouraging throughout this entire experience. I’m so happy that I feel like frolicking in circles right now, throwing imaginary confetti and singing my heart out — and that’s an understatement. :P These Spring Bunnies will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that you’ll enjoy crocheting them as much as I did. ♥
Please come back and share photos of your bunny’s adventures!!! They’ll be featured in our “Travel Log” photo album on Facebook.
Thank again for your never-ending support and encouragement! ♥ ♥ ♥
Cheers!

My aunt and I have been proofreading my Spring Bunny crochet pattern over and over… and over and over again. *big inhale, and exhale* I think it’s finally ready for publication!!! This makes me so nervous and queasy. Haha it’s a really big milestone in my crafting life. :)
The pattern will be uploaded to Craftsy tonight, May 15th! http://www.craftsy.com/user/pattern/store/476288
If you want to get a head start on your bunny, I’ve uploaded a free Spring Flower pattern for you (in the link above). <3

The Knit CamBRIDGE Project
“The work started in April of 2009, and was completed on September 11, 2010, when 16,000 zip ties were used to wrap the bridge in knitwear. Over 1,000 knitters from all over the world contributed – from the Cambridge area, from further afield in Canada, from the US, and from as far away as New Zealand. The oldest knitter participating was 103, the youngest 5. ” - Kate from Knitty Blog

“Hello! My name’s Spring Bunny. Miss Jo said I should say something about myself so umm… I LIKE CARROTS, but only really short chubby carrots! The long skinny ones are no fun to eat. And ummm… I’M TALL! I’m 14 inches tall! That’s like, SUPER tall! The other animals in our home are only as big as my EAR, so playing hide-and-seek with them is kinda hard. They find me too fast. :( If you’d like to learn more about me or my friends, please visit us at A Morning Cup of Jo Creations! Miss Jo will be introducing many new friends to our home in the months to come. Hope to see you there!” <3 Spring Bunny
I’m really excited to send off this bunny to her new family because she’ll be meeting a newborn baby very soon! :D Yay!
This energetic sweetheart has been a work-in-progress since January! Her ears and other limbs have been remade a few times, I experimented with different buttons, and I even crocheted a fat carrot for her. Redesigning last year’s bunnies has been a fun task, and I’m still working on the official 2012 design to turn into a crochet pattern. :)
Next up: spring bunnies with pink and green sweaters! :D
