FO: Bunny Nuggets

Happy spring / Easter! These fuzzy little critters were a fun stash busting exercise. I only wish I'd seen the recommendation by one clever knitter to insert bread ties into the ears before I'd sewn them all on. In this squishy soft yarn the ears are beyond Peter Cottontail floppy. Even so, I had waaaay too much fun posing them outside in the best patch of returning grass I could find. (Yeah, it's been that kind of week.)

Dr. Watson's Scarf

Over the holiday break, I had a chance to see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and one of the surprise highlights for me was Dr. Watson's scarf. Turns out I wasn't alone. There's a thread devoted to making the scarf on Ravelry and one ambitious knitter is auctioning off her own version of the scarf on eBay.  

And while it's certainly a fine scarf (don't get me wrong), my reaction to the movie wasn't that I wanted to knit one.  Small Spoiler Alert: In one scene Watson stands by calmly as his personal items are lifted by a tribe of gypsies... until they take the scarf made by his fiancee.

Yes, I'm such a dweeb that my first thought was, "He's ready to fight for the knitwear!" And while I'm still a Sherlock/Robert Downey Jr girl, for one moment there you could classify me as Team Watson.
