Here is the start of my "Bridesmaid wrap" from " Wedding Knits " by Suss Cousins. I am making it out of heavier yarn, From Handpainted yarns I love the yarn it is so soft and the colors are beautiful. The wrap is made in mohair in the book. I plan on making it a shorter wrap, due to the heavier yarn. I hope it turns out OK . If you check out the book link, there is photo of it. If you want a free Bridesmaid wrap pattern this is a lovely one from Knitty! I made this baby bunting, on the spur of the moment, just playing around. I used one skein of red heart yarn, and a small amount of the fun fur yarn in a coordinating color. Cast on 80 stitches at 4 sts /inch. Knit in the round, until 24 inches long. If you would rather knit flat, knit even rows, purl odd rows. Add Fun fur yarn, or other novelty yarn for the last 10 rows. Bind off, using a very loose bind off. I like to use the Elizabeth Zimmerman method of the Sewn Bind off
Lola looks like she is almost half way done. You don't mess around once you start knitting something!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your shawl.
The pig is cute!!! Remember, I'm looking for a dog or lion... Love the color of your Lola!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cute!! I can see all sorts of possibilities with that general shape. Great work.
ReplyDeleteDid 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. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I would love to see your finished little bunny!
