Ok, here’s a fact: I, Claire Garland, live in a fantasy world which is whenever I knit something I believe that it comes to life at night and romps around the house!… So that’s why I’m trying to create animals as close to the ‘real thing’ as I possibly can - it’s my challenge… I’ve used My little wild rabbit of the forest in (almost) one piece joining as you go - the legs and hind feet you sew on after. I’ve knitted him using fine Alpaca, wool and Alpaca mix yarns PLUS a touch of kidsilk from my fave - Drops yarn - and doubled up using sometimes three colours at once to create ‘wild rabbit’ subtle tones You’ll also need a pair of 18 mm toy eyes and toy filling - a heavy kapok works best I find…. AND - there are also many images illustrating how to make up your bunny and how to make it look as real as can…
