cute
i discovered this pattern via leslie over at whimsy. it is from kate gilbert, aka the clapotis designer. they are so simple and cute that i actually knit two up last night.
i just think they are too cute and can't wait to knit up a pink one.
i also managed to finish up another flower washcloth. this one is for my grandma's birthday. i bought the soap and then matched the yarn to the label. this is the second set of cloth/soap that i have given as a gift. i think this may just be the gift of the year. they are quick, relatively inexpensive and certainly girly!
i had a very productive day and was also delighted to receive a gifty from my secret pal! very yummy knit picks yarn and what i have discovered to be excellent hand moisturizer! thanks sp!
now i have to go get ready for our monthly knotty knitters meeting. we always have theme drinks and today's is a red carpet. in honor of the oscars tomorrow. this morning i whipped up the dessert, something i have made before and love. it is called 'french chocolate cake.' it really is like a fallen souffle cake (i don't know what makes it so french, except it is from a cookbook called 'french cooking'. very little flour and very dense and moist. YUM!
happy saturday all!

Mmm...yummy looking cake! I love the bunnies, I've been meaning to knit one of those. Quick question, what kind of chenille do you use for your flower wash cloths?
Those are cute bunnies!

Those bunnies are so freaking cute!
And that cake doesn't look half bad either...
Glad you jumped on the bunny bandwagon! Yours are adorable...I love the green color. What yarn did you use?

Amy, where did you get the pattern for the flower washcloth, I've been looking all around the world for it, I can't find it.

for the flower wash cloths i use the crystal palace cotton chenille. the pattern is from the 'weekend knits' book and it is the yarn they specify (me use a yarn the pattern calls for? i did!!).
for the bunnies i used some ggh esprit i had in my stash. it is sooo soft.
wait until you see what i ordered for clapotis!!
That cake looks so good!!! It's making me hungry!
The bunnies are too cute too!
Those are so adorable, Amy! Love them--maybe I can whip some up for my nieces in time for Easter. Thanks for the link!
I think that the washclothes are perfect gifts too--so pretty and so useful.
Have a good one!
The cake looks delice...I'm drooling (thanks very much)! I just wanted to comment on how adorable those bunnies are and I adore your color choices. I may need to add bunnies for Easter to my long long list. Also, I was excited to see that someone else saw that purdy Rowan bag!
Btw--just a follow Seattelite (well, North Seattle, ha-hum). I admire your blog and joyful to have run across it! 'Nuff said.

Amy, your bunnies are sooo cute. I just started my flower washcloth on Sunday. I'm using the CP Cotton Chenille I bought at Churchmouse Yarns when I visited Seattle!
Amy, your bunnies are darling! I just wondered if you alter the ear part of the pattern at all? Your ears stick out to the sides more than the ears on the bunnies I have made from Kate's pattern. I felted my bunnies, so maybe that is the reason for the difference.
love those bunnies!! I also love your knitpicks yarn -- what colorway is that?
The bunnies are just TOO cute! I think im in love..The washcloth is very nice aswell, If i were the one receiving it I would be overjoyed! Keep up the great work ;)
I love the flower ...is it a dish cloth? Where can I find ther pattern for it? Your page is lovely :)
Hey! Cute bunnies!!! What kind of yarn did you use?
