8 Adorable Easter bunnies and lambs to knit & crochet #Pinteresting

Easter is just over a week away but there is still plenty of time to whip up one of these super sweet critters for your little one's basket! I am in love with the sweet floppy eared bunny! All of these patterns can be found free on the Lion Brand website!

Just look at this little crocheted cutie! I want one... or a dozen!

March Meeting Highlights + a finished project

Today's meeting was so much fun girls! It was nice to sit and visit and chat and talk over each other  and nibble on goodies and try to refrain from shaking a certain someone whom we all love so much ;) I think we did a good job of cheering up a dreary and rainy day, even if you all had to travel through the mud-pit-that-used-to-be-my-road to get here!

Aimee and Mom arrived a few minutes ahead of Aunt Edith this morning. Aimee immediately pulled out her finished Teddy Bear Quilt and proceeded to pick it apart by pointing out all of her 'errors' {insert sisterly eye roll here}. Pu-leeze! That quilt is totally adorable and quilt-y and beautiful! She gave the finished quilt to Aunt Edith who said she would treasure it forever, lol!

Amigurumi Cow?

Woo Hoo! A finish :) Standing not-so-very tall at just under 8", my wee crocheted cow is done. Pretty spring colors just because a brown cow is boring ;)
The pattern is from the July/August 1996 edition of Hooked on Crochet, with a few *Aimee Alterations* thrown in.
Now I only have 5 quilts, 2 crocheted afghans, & a knit baby sweater to get out of the way before I can start on something else. Permission to laugh & say *yeah, right* at my attempt to clear out old projects before starting any new ones ;)

Kaylas blanket

   This is a picture of a blanket I had started for my daughter . I have come to realize it has been sitting aside now for almost a year and is nearly half finished. I decided today that I am going to get back to work on this and finally get it finished for my daughter so she can actually use it on her bed instead of it lying somewhere in a box forgotten and half done.

Crochet Mittens

OK, Bea. Here's your pattern for the crocheted mitten. Super simple, super quick, & it totally fits my little hand model :)

Now just SC around until you have 9 rows altogether.
Now we divide for the thumb. Just SC around on 20 SC, skip 8 SC, join. SC around until you have 17 rows altogether.
Now we begin shaping the top of the hand.
SC in next 2 SC, SC 2 together around. You should now have 15 SC
