Phyllis Mouse and No-name Bunny

I stumbled across the Posie Gets Cozy blog by Alicia Paulson via Little Cotton Rabbits and immediately fell in love. She designs the most divine creatures from felt and sells both the patterns as well as kits which come with everything you need to make these guys. It was a tough choice but I eventually chose to buy the mouse pattern over the rabbit, cat, doe and fox mostly because the mouse's name is Phyllis - the same as my mom which I found really funny! After I made Phyllis I adapted the pattern slightly to make a bunny and designed some of my own clothes - a jersey, skirt and little pink moccasin boots.

Here are some pictures of Phyllis and the bunny which is yet to be named. My photography definitely isn't great and is something I should probably work on! I especially love the shoes - they are just the cutest things I've seen!

Little Cotton Rabbits

One of my favourite crafts is knitting and I've been doing it since my mom taught me when I was very young, probably around six or seven. I am really impatient though and get extremely bored knitting big things like jerseys and knitting in plain stocking or garter stitch with no increases or decreases or shaping. For this reason I generally stick to knitting small, fiddly things. My absolute favourite things to knit are the adorable creatures designed by Julie from Little Cotton Rabbits. She sells her knitting patterns for THE cutest bunnies, elephants and foxes and I am always watching her blog and Facebook page anxiously waiting for her to add a new animal pattern. So far I have knitted a whole lot of bunnies and just one elephant (although I will definitely be adding another one soon).

Here are some pictures of the Little Cotton Rabbit clan that I have knitted so far.
