YOP Sunday

I know I told you last week I probably wouldn't be blogging because of company being here but alas...my son ended up having oral surgery so it was not to be!  He's fine other than a little swollen and uncomfortable but I was able to Skype with him and my grandson last night which was really nice.  I told my grandson I was sending him a "care" package since he couldn't come to Grandma's house and his eyes lit up so hopefully he'll enjoy what I send him.
So, since they weren't coming I worked on a Bunny Buddy for him which will be worked on today and finished so I can mail it with some other things on Tuesday.  It might be a bit young for him but it's filled with Grandma's love so that can't be bad!  BTW...this is the crocheted version.  There are 2 patterns; one for crochet and one for knitted.  It's from Lion Brand and I used Bernat Velvetspun yarn with a K hook.  The yarn is a dream to work with and does feel like velvet!  I got it at Wal-Mart for less than $3 and it only takes one skein!  Great budget gift!  I only wish it came in other colors besides pastel...like a nice gray or brown...you know....rabbit colors! LOL!

 I didn't finish my hook holder but I did manage to get one edge done in the purple.

   The scarf looks the same....just longer! LOL!  I was able to find another skein in the same lot number at Wal-Mart this past week so hurray for that!

I managed to cast on another washcoth too....I SO love casting on and starting new projects!

I also found some really nice patterns and designers for toys and thought I would share with you as there are so many cute ones out there in case you hadn't seen these.  I would have cast on one of these but I need to order some DPN's in sizes I don't have.  My favorite so far when it comes to toys is Rabbit Hole Knits and then there's Wendy Phillips 
and Vendula Maderska
I'll be by later to see what everyone's been up to!  I'm doing a happy dance this morning as it is pouring rain outside and I don't have to go out and water early as I've been doing for the past month or more in this heat we've had here!  The rain is bringing in a cool front supposedly and what a gift for the first day of September!  Yippee!  Plus, football has started and Fall is coming!  I love Fall and Winter best especially down here in the South where it's too hot to enjoy the Summer.   Although I must admit, it really wasn't too bad this year until August.  Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone that's celebrating it and the rest of you have a great weekend too!
