Little Miss Dotty....

Hello world.  My name is Dotty.  Am I cute, or what?!?

 

oops.  Excuse me.

My new furry friend, Freddy...knocked me over....and my bloomers and bunny tail are showing.  Please note.  That IS a bunny tail.  I'm definitely a bunny.

I might look just a teeny bit like some other critter..a mouse with big ears maybe?  But I'm not.  I'm definitely a bunny.  I'm definitely a girl.  I'm most definitely pretty darn cute (so says my new mom who made me).  

She's already warned me that I will most likely be adopted someday, but until then, I'm going to enjoy my new surroundings and maybe beg for a couple more dresses.  It's Sunday, so I'm in my Sunday School best dress, but this isn't going to cut it if I go outside later to play in the mud.  I could probably use some overalls. 

Hint.  Hint.

If you haven't had a chance to try one of Julie Williams's toy patterns you are in for a treat.  They look somewhat daunting when you print them out.  14 or 15 pages of the MOST meticulously written pattern you will ever encounter.  This is my second....boy elephant was my first and he's incredibly cute, too.  (He's still here...I can't seem to give him up for adoption even though he'd make a really cute gift with a Babar book!)

Last week I got a Ravelry update for the girl bunny pattern...new faces and a little facelift, so guess what?

Dotty will soon have a friend.

Oh Dotty- you are adorable in every way possible!
That Sunday dress looks perfect, even when you are knocked over. :)

Thank you Miss Andi!  At the moment, I'm a pretty darn happy girl.

Gah! Too freaking cute!!!!

[Kim]

Dotty you are the cutest, and I had no doubt you were a bunny from the very first picture!

[karen]

you did such a lovely job on your rabbit! I love her bloomers :) :)

[Paula Fletcher]

what yarn did you use?

[steph@woolythyme]

I used some odds and ends of Cascade 220 for the rabbit and some bits and pieces of sport and dk for the clothes and legs.  I think the shoes were dk wt.  This is pretty much what Julie recommends and the pattern adjusts for the different weight of wool.

Oh my gosh, Dottie could not be any cuter. I really should knit one up for a little girl I know. It's great to hear that the directions are excellent.

I bought the sheep pattern, but haven't been brave enough to start it. If I finish my Carbeth before the end of the Olympics, that's what I'm doing next :-).

[thecrazysheeplady]

Yours is wonderful by the way!

Dotty is as cute as a bunny. I knew right away she was a bunny. I am always tempted by those toys. And I like the embroidery as a backdrop.

Super cute! I made the same pattern a couple of years ago and loved it. The only problem I had with the pattern was that everything was knit flat instead of in the round, and I happen to hate seaming..

[tanna]

Oh, my goodness! Dotty is pure CUTENESS! Love this, Steph. blessings ~ tanna

[steph@woolythyme]

i so agree.....but the only silver lining there was that the seams were so small!!!

[Bridget]

She is adorable! I would love to try something like this, but fear the fiddly parts. It might just be time to dive in.

[Eileen]

So very, very cute. love her patterns, but as yet to knit any...ugh. Need to fix that.

[steph@woolythyme]

oh!  the sheep is adorable, too.  I'm thinking about ordering another pattern and that one may be ONE!

[Katty]

You are the Best!

[ellen]

So cute! All the details are so cute, the clothing. I don't know if I'm one to knit playthings. I imagine I'd not be very good at it. Maybe one day...

[Elizabeth]

now that is one nice looking bunny! Glad she is going to have a friend!

[Diane]

She's definitely adorable!

[Tracy]

How ADORABLE is this lil' bunny girl??!! She is definitely all bunny! Love the pale pink dress... and that tail!! ;) What sweet yarn work... ((HUGS))
