A couple of weeks ago I made a brief trip to Christchurch to visit elderly uncles and managed to squeeze in a trip to Broomfields, the amazing needlework store. Of course I fell into temptation and a chart and fabric for a French Rabbit came home with me. Saintly moi finished knitting the pair of socks on the needles before starting this adorable creature. And now I’m finished.
Stitched on 32 count Belfast linen using Silk N Colours Finnegan’s Fog, I’m ever so happy with how it’s turned out and am grateful that cold weather is keeping me indoors and providing stitching time in abundance. Brer Rabbit may be sartorially splendid but he is really only a useless ornament. I really must try projects that are more useful.
Today a friend sent me an intriguing reel of a folded triangular needle case and as it’s a long holiday weekend here I plan to go through my stash and see if I have the ingredients necessary to complete that as a project.

He gorgeous, an Ornament he might be but I bet he makes you smile everything you look at him.
It's baking hot here at the moment, I'm already wishing for cooler weather, lol
Love your rabbit! One of the joys of blogosphere is reading 'colder weather is keeping me indoors ' while England I can write 'this hot weather is keeping me indoors '!
Mr. Rabbit is so serendipitous and delight in him is his greatest use.
Your chart arrived, bless you, and my gratitude is on the way, Margaret
dear. Looking forward to seeing your new project...
He is adorable! I’ve never seen him before.
Your rabbit is absolutely adorable!
Oh he is adorable! Please don't say such projects are useless; he brought you joy making him and then again looking at him, that is really the best one can ask for from an artform like stitching :)
