I know that I always bang on about blossom at this time of year but plum blossom is the first indication that spring has arrived again in our little garden and that makes me very happy. Toby is an outdoorsy kind of boy and life in the warmer weather is more relaxed and fun for him, so I'm cheered by the lovely thought of all of those warm and sunny days to come with paddling pool splashing, bubble chasing, tea in the garden and a bit of knitting in the sun for me of course!
Anyway, with spring and Easter in mind I've finished off the egg cosy pattern.
It will be available in my etsy pattern shop before the end of the week but if you'd like to win a free copy of this pattern in advance then please leave a comment below and I'll draw 20 winners first thing on Thursday morning.
Sorry but comments are now closed, 9.25am,Thursday March 19th
Very cute pattern. Please enter me in your drawing :-) Happy Spring!

Good morning to you Julie! :o)
Blossom time is a very special time of the year and we love it too, down here. Our geranium vases are back out on the balconies in the sun light and now we're waiting to see the first rose buds of this spring! Your egg cosy is simply adorable, the most lovely little face around - thank you for the kind giveaway and most of all for making the pattern available on Etsy. I just can't wait to try to knit one! Have a nice day.

Isn't it so lovely to see the sun and the flowers starting to bloom?! Please count me in your little giveaway too Julie - that egg cosy is gorgeous! Also, I don't know if you've seen it yet, but I'm organising a bloggy meet up near Oxford in the Easter holidays and it would be lovely to see you too (although I understand that it could be very difficult for you to make it)

Daughter number 1 is at school.
The washing is on the line.
The dinner is cooking.
I'm feeding baby daughter number 2 whilst planning a family summer holiday and
it's not yet 11am.....why?
Because the sun is shining and I am a different person today.
Have a lovely day.

A cute bunny, indeed. (:
The spring teased for a couple of days here in Estonia, but today is once again March-like: wet, icy blizzard.
Posted by: Kata | March 17, 2009 at 10:59 AM
Thanks, I'd LOVE one!
Posted by: Claudia | March 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Your bunnies are so cute! I am so hoping that Spring is really here, although I have my doubts being this far north. Knitting a bunny would definitely help! Please include me in your draw.
Posted by: Christine | March 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Oh, I don't have the skills to make such a lovely thing - I wish I did - such a sweet cosy.
I know what you mean about blossom - spring proper is here I think x
Posted by: Emma | March 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM
What a sweet pattern - a bunny egg cosy would be just the thing to complete the Easter breakfast table.
Posted by: Liz T. | March 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I love plum blossom best too. We have a damson tree outside our kitchen window and I adore the delicate beauty of the flowers. I love the egg cosy too - please enter me in the draw.

Our weather is starting to get colder here in Melbourne, Australia and by the way thank you to all those who made a contribution to the bushfire appeal it will be very much appreciated.

beautiful pattern. looking forward to some spring signs where I live :)
Posted by: Alina | March 17, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Oh, your bunnies are so amazing! I'd love to knit some for Easter!
Here in Helsinki, Finland, we still have a lot of snow in the ground, and no spring at sight. First springflowers should pop up in about a month or two, so we need some patience... A little bunny-pattern would help, I bet!
