Julie Williams over at "Little Cotton Rabbits" is a knitter whose work I really enjoy. I've never knit an animal in my life, but Julie makes me want to.
Her designs are so adorable and her execution of them seemingly perfect and seeing her finished knits always makes me smile.
I love how she's found her "niche" in the knitting and design world. I'm also very impressed with the excellence of her craft and how she's taken her knitting to a level of artistry that I so admire.The latest pattern she put up for sale on Etsy was for this adorable "Easter Bunny Egg Cosy" and I definitely need to make a set of these one day.
I've also got her hedgehog pin cushion pattern -- how cute is that?!
Anyway, I just wanted to give a nod today to Julie and her darling designs and her great blog, Little Cotton Rabbits: knitting and living with an autistic son.
If you're looking for a fun knitting project, stop by Julie's Etsy shop and buy one of these great patterns for yourself or if you are quick enough, you might just get your hands on one of her completed knitted animals -- they sell out fast though and you can certainly see why.
Keep up the amazing work Julie,
from one of your many admirers!
(P.S. please honor the copyright on Julie's images and patterns.)
I am a big fan of her patterns as well. I have made a couple of her tiny bunnies...
Great fun!
♥

Julie is fabulous with her knitting skills! I was lucky enough to nab one a while back. I do treasure my bunny!
Hopefully I'll be able to advance my knitting skills and be able to knit a bunny!
