Lola Bunny progress and Sursa shawl

Progress has been  good.

Lola Bunny is fun to knit and progressing good. Shawl is fast, fun and easy. It makes me want to start another one for someone else.

I like the Lola Bunny Pattern, and after

making a crochet elephant, it is nice to try a knitted toy pattern. I also found another pattern on the Schaefer yarn co. Lola Curly the Pig. Very cute..

It's storming here and the colors on the shawl picture don't do the actual piece justice

    Lola looks like she is almost half way done. You don't mess around once you start knitting something!

    I love the colors in your shawl.

    Did you ever finish your Lola bunny? I have made it all the way to the ear attachment part, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to attach them. Any way I try it looks really crappy. Would you mind sharing how you finished your bunny? Thank you !

    I just placed the ears and stiched them on, I pinned them first and used small stitches (using the yarn) to attach from the inside.
    Let me know if you need more help
    Good luck

    Thank you! This is my first project that I've had to sew anything to my knitting, and instructions that say only "attach ears" are not all that helpful. :)

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci
