Oooooooooooooh!!!! I finally made it to buy your kit this time! I would LOVE a "boy bunny" kit"; but I just got two with dresses for my daughter, and clothes pattern for the pants and shirt, because she will looooooove them!! (And she would love having a boy and a girl bunny:)) And the more clothes, the more fun she will have:) Can't wait to start making them!!! (Ok, I am slightly excited, and sharing this awesome link with all my co-workers;))

I totally agree on the grandma sheets; but I think my grandma made hers, and they were also all hand embroidered with monograms on sheets as well as pillows. she always washed them and hung them outside to dry (in cold northern sweden even!) and IRONED them. i am so glad i'm not alone out there! (all my friends think i am CRAZY) Ironing your sheets can really make up for a lower thread count, and they are just so soft. 100 % cotton. always. nothing else.

Just wanted to say I love your blog, and get tons of inspiration from it! (And cute furry animals to boot!) I wanted to send you this link to a Swedish embroidery company's site: http://www.vastgotabroderi.se I have gotten a few kits from them, the kits are very nice and great quality. Just thought they may be up your alley, and fun for inspiration to look at at least! Not really sure where to get the kits from; I got mine in Sweden, some of them have English translations and some of them don't, but they aren't too difficult to figure out I don't think.

It's only hardcore if you don't know about the 3 previous hours when I was NAPPING ON THE COUCH, he he.

Rae: I got the fabric at Bobbin's Nest in Santa Clara, CA. I don't remember who actually designed it...

yup, it's from EDF, pork loin with a cumin rub and drizzled with some orange/marmalade dealio (Jacob made it). SO GOOD:)

No, I had an appt up there:) No yarn purchases (YET!) Did you know that Artfibers have a store again?? It is close to where they used to be, but I haven't checked it out yet...

Rae: the color yarn is "saphire magenta". Abigail: Dammit! Does it help if I say they were good?:) Martha Stewart carrot cupcakes and W-S lemon poppy seed muffins; let me know if you'd like to try to make them:) BUT you finished the apron!! That's awesome!

yup, kai-meis! love them, but have to give them away!

Abigail: LOL, you certainly didn't! But you always have a solution to my whining, and I really & truly appreciate it!!

Juls: thank you for the idea! maybe i'll do that next time:) cotton-ease is pretty nice, i've crocheted alot of amigurumi with it, and it's not splitty at all. i highly recommend tess' baby lace leaf cardigan, it's an easy knit, and so cute. (especially if you make the smallest size). it uses up about as much yarn as a pair of socks, which is perfect.

i know i'm late, but i had to pipe in (ha ha funny), but YES, piping, piping, piping! it makes the pillows look SO crisp and nice. the one thing i have a problem with are the corners, it's hard to get them right. also, i find that joanns have a VERY small selection of already made piping, so i tend to always have to make my own (which does look best), but it would be nice to just have some ready made piping laying around for those off the cuff projects. GORGEOUS GORGEOUS pillows! and you kind of owe it to the pillow to do piping since they are so pretty!:)

Thank you so much for making this list! You are making it SO EASY for us to just print it and check off the books we're reading to our little girl! Thank you SO MUCH! Even though she's only 10.5 months old, and we read to her a few times a week, we thought she wasn't paying attention, because she climbs on us and is more interested in eating the books, we KNOW she does, because she will sit with her own books and talk to them and giggle. It's the cutest thing, and it makes you feel SO GOOD. Can't wait to find new books to read!

LOVED making them, and it sure helps reading about techniques, clearly I didnt have a clue what I was doing before... Watched this video: http://www.howcast.com/videos/285355-Managing-Yarns-For-Colorwork-Knitting-Daily-TV-Episode-306-With-Eunny-Jang And her stuff totally ROCKS. I want to make another pair of mitts!
