Today, A Finger Puppet.

By -

 I don't know what came over me. 
I made a bunny finger puppet. 
I found the basis in the book:  30 min-knits by Carol Meldrum. 
No less than two of you posted bunnies in your yards today on your blog posts.  I think you inspired me.  
I completely enjoyed this one. ....
Just Sayin, there may be more. 
 For the more serious knitters out there I have to say I touched this yarn yesterday at my LYS.  It is beyond soft.  100% Super Baby Alpaca.  Too bad I can't wear alpaca next to my skin without erupting in a rash, because this stuff is
seriously soft. 
Have you seen the cowl pattern knit up in Cria Stripes?
It is so lovely and reminds me of a Trap Scarf in some ways. 

 Happy Summer Night. 
The day got away from me so I'm posting late. 
The cicada's are singing and the moon is full. 
There is next to no humidity and a slight breeze.
Picture perfect.  Hope yours is too

I react that way to Alpaca also which is too bad because it is so soft. Bunny puppet is adorable. Is it for kitty play?
Not so great weather here-it's still hot as blazes. I woke this morning to news that scientist say the area is sinking into the ocean. Who needs the ocean with humidity like this?

What a CUTE bunny finger puppet!! The tail made me giggle. Just the ticket!

I LOVE baby alpaca yarn...I've not heard of the yarn brand you are showing in the picture, but by golly, I can imagine how wonderfully soft it is.

Bunny puppets - adorable. Be careful, they may multiply like (wait for it. . .) rabbits. ;o)

Alpaca can be very soft, but I don't like to knit with it.

Love the sound of cicadas.

I love that cowl. That's a must do! It was HOT when I took the dogs out at 10:30 last night. I go out with them because if I don't they chase--guess what--bunnies. There seem to be an abundance of bunnies in yards this year! There was even one there whey we were out at 7:00 am this morning, finally shaving Max down for his summer cut. He's mad now but later he will be out chasing bunnies again.

I love your bunny finger puppets. You are so cute Kathy!!

Love your finger puppet!
I too cannot wear alpaca! And I so wish I could. My yarn shop has tons of it. Almost too much of it! Which would not be an issue if I could WEAR IT - LOL!

I adore your finger puppet! I haven't made one stitch on my alpaca shawl on this trip. I just haven't had the notion to do it and have been overly busy traveling. We made it to Boise ID for the night and will arrive home tomorrow eve. Cannot wait. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I'm so sad that you cannot wear alpaca -- so light, so soft, so warm, hmm. sometimes too warm for me.

Anyways, the finger puppet is cute. Yes, make more and then put on a show for us! hehe.

The pictured cowl does remind me of The Trap. Pretty.

Aha, a bunny that won't devour your favorite flowers! Brilliant! We are trying to teach "ours" to mow the lawn only. LOL (It's not going too well.....)

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
