Hello, my name is Fluffkins, and I’m a bunny made from a JellyBum pattern and KnitPicks Shine Sport yarn in Cream. You can find a pattern for me and a whole bunch of other cutie-patootie knitted animals here, on JellyBum’s Etsy page.
Ain’t I cute?

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, everyone. Life’s pretty busy these days with the new baby, my graphic design biz, and just “life” in general!
I do want to get you excited about this beautiful new yarn from KnitPicks.com, though (I know I am):
It will be so great for something fall-ish this year.
Ta ta for now!

Here’s a little shrug I’ve knit/crochet for Cadence’s Easter outfit. I had a skein of Knit Pick’s shine sport in a lovely apple green lying around. I had JUST enough to knit the main shrug (only about 3 inches left!), and then decided to edge it with a lovely lacey crochet pattern in white. I’m quite happy with it! If I have time, I’ll post the pattern. Please let me know if there is any interest. Happy Spring!

Okay, okay, I know this is yet another non-knitting project, but I thought I hadn’t posted in a while, so this will have to do!
I’ve noticed so many of these cute taggie blankies everywhere - from the farmer’s market, to in the hands of local babies all over town. I thought I’d make one for Cadence!
It was so easy and fun! I made mine with a flannel print on one side and a chocolate brown minkee fabric on the other. I cut my ribbon in three different lengths (4″, 5″ and 6″) and alternated ribbon patterns and sizes.
There’s a great tutorial on how to sew one here, at Mama’s Doodles blog.
I’d highly recommend this little project! I made one for Cadence and one for a friend’s shower in under an hour! Picking out the different ribbons was the funnest part, and the material and ribbons for three blankies cost under $30 (CDN). I read somewhere… baby’s love playing with the tags on their stuffed animals & toys more than the toys themselves, so why not make them a beautiful, sensory blankie packed full of silky taggies to play with?!
