sane mum, once insane knitter

A new bunny. Softer and sweeter than the last.

I knit (knitted? - Naenae College did nothing for my grammar, which word is right? Knit, Knitted, Knotted??) another bunny for a friend due any day now. It's in Patons Zhivago (50% tencel 50% acrylic) which is lovely and soft. I was going to put something round it's neck but I decided it looked better nude. It's ears also had to be altered as 2 balls wasn't quite enough. But it looks quite cute with short ears. Original bunny is probably getting a wash to see if he will soften up. Unsure how his stuffing will react to that. He's too scratchy for a baby, made out of 100% wool and cheap stuff at that.

I am up to about 12" on tempting II. I took it to King Kong but realised I had knitted where I should have purled and had to stop. I didn't even fluff up the knitting during the movie, I had done it 2 rows earlier but could tell something wasn't quite right in the half dark. I think I have another 4" to go before start arms and top. I may knit a bit more as I hate short tops, my belly has to be well covered by at least 3 layers ( undies, trousers, then top) otherwise I feel quite out of sorts. I have some shirts that I wear that don't quite cover it and I feel very uncomfortable wearing them.


So, I didn't knit, I watched. And it wasn't as bad as I had thought. It made me sad, but it made Tana Umaga sad too apparently so I feel better about being sad. There were some super cheesy moments and some dragged on and on but not completly dreadful.

So now as payment I get to go and see something I want to see which he will hate. Not intentional but he doesn't like what I like. He likes Zoolander for gods sake. Very disturbing... I tried really hard to watch that when it came on tv the other night. I sat there thinking "maybe I have to make my mind completly blank and then this will be funny" But no, it's just complete crap.
