Happy Easter

Hoping that the Easter Bunny (or Bilby) found you all today.

Amelia and Baden woke and had breakfast before a thud at the door and a flash from something furry though the window (they did not see him - he was too fast for them:)

Armed with their baskets from last year they went out to find what was hidden in the garden.

Eggs, Eggs and more Eggs before heading off to Church (the dress was loved and we recieved many comments and I had to lift a few jaws up off of the floor when they found out that I had indeed knitted it)

I finished knitting our little non-choc treat for the kids last night and both were thrilled with them.

Amelia's is a knitted mini-reversible Duck to Bunny  by Susan B. Anderson
And Baden's another pattern by Susan B. Anderson, the Rabbit. Complete with a tennis ball inside his stomach.  He has not put him down.

Both knitted in Spud and Chloe Sweater which is a blend and cotton in a 10ply.  It is lovely to knit with (these little creatures were actually a little test to see if I liked the yarn before buying enough to make a jumper for the little man)
Threads and More are the only stockists in Australia and also happen to be in Brisbane.

Hoping that everyone is enjoying their Easter Long Weekend.  We are heading west for a few days in search of a real life Bilby (not sure how sucessful we will be with the recent floods through) But I am sure that we will enjoy ourselves regardless.

  1. Those little knitted softies are too, too cute. Lessons please! I bet Amelia was the belle of the ball at church today. Hope all is well and enjoy your fantastic trip. Fingers crossed for a bilby sighting. Hubby says to write down exact location (he works for Parks and Wildlife) :)
