cooking up some bunnies
First take some good quality yarn (here I've used some Sublime organic cotton)
pour into bowl and stir vigorously to encourage lumps
shape, place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at gas mark 3
et voila!
Oh I wish it was that easy! Here's the evidence though that there is some bunny production going on in these here parts! And the bunnies have a new friend too, so if you're around early next week pop back and meet him. Happy weekend all!
Very Exciting!!!!!!

Wish that is was that easy;-) Just cook and you have bunnies. Great idea! They look so cute:-) And I am very curious about the new little friend!!!
Posted by: Martine | January 24, 2008 at 03:55 PM
The jars full of ingredients look good too! Looking forward to meeting the new character and seeing the little personalities you have created (by whatever means, but glad to see you use gas!)
Posted by: jill | January 24, 2008 at 03:59 PM
Oh boy, I hope I can buy one or two. Yipeee!! I can't wait to see their friend.

Julie - I know you don't know me from Adam, and I can't remember how I first found your blog. But I love reading your stories - your children, the hedgehog tale, and the adventures of your Little Cotton Rabbits and their friends. So I award you the "You Make My Day" award on my blog. Thank you, and hugs!

This is such a lovely post! I suddenly feel as if I absolutely need to knit a rabbit.
Posted by: Sam | January 24, 2008 at 06:11 PM
This is a very interesting new cooking process !! Love your photo's.

Oh how I wish I could buy your bunny pattern, they are just SO adorable. :)
Posted by: Denise | January 24, 2008 at 07:48 PM
They are beautiful! Please can you put me on your 'shop alert' list? I'm always just too late!
Posted by: jayne | January 24, 2008 at 08:03 PM
Now if I didn't know you better, I'd be mighty concerned about a Kilner Jar with 'Body Parts' in your kitchen. Are they labelled with black stickers or blackboard paint? Because they look good.
Posted by: Ali | January 24, 2008 at 08:42 PM
That is such a sweet entry today! Well done!! Very creative!
Posted by: Kirsty | January 24, 2008 at 08:49 PM
I love this post so much because I call the patterns for my creations 'receipes'! I love it so much.
And I truly adore your little rabbits...well everything you knit really.
I dream of one day being quick enough to be able to call one of them my own! - Jen
Posted by: Jenny | January 24, 2008 at 09:45 PM
Oh how cute!! And I LOVE the jars labeled clothes and body parts!

Julie
Did you tell us once you were in marketing? because my god you certainly know how to tease us and get our appetites whetted.
What I would like to say is unless you are making at least 150 bunnies please don't tease!!!
I look at them longingly knowing my digits won't be quick enough to bid.
You do realise I hope that you are a STAR.
LOL

You are so funny. You cheer me up and I'm not even sad! Glad to hear you're a bunny baker not a bunny boiler!

Ooh they all look so cute. I especially love the chocolate colored one. Do you really pop them into separate jars!

So this is how Little Cotton Rabbits enjoy a sauna experience in Winter! They say "You are what you eat" so I guess if you follow the recipe above, you become a little cotton rabbit!

Hello Julie,

Take care,
