Today is a real turning point for me and my family - my autistic son starts school tomorrow. It's a real emotional conundrum for whilst I'm a wreck with worrying how he'll cope I'm also brimming with excitement at the prospect of a daily 6 hours of free time for me - weeeeheeee! Anyway, on balance it is a positive - he's so ready for the challenge and has been so bored and restless over the summer hols and I am full of so many creative impulses which need to be put into action before I burst!
I've been so inspired by reading various weblogs, particulary Hillary Lang's fabulous Wee Wonderfuls that I've been itching to start my own weblog. So here it is.
Basically I'm a non-stop knitter. I created a design for a rabbit around 3 years ago as an easter pressie for my daughter Amy. Pink cotton rabbit was so fun to make that I just carried on and made some for everyone I know - including my daughters playgroup. I always try to make each one different so whilst some jumper designs crop up time and again they are always in different colourways or on differently coloured rabbits. I love the yarns I use - Rowan, Jaeger and Debbie Bliss - pre-dominantly cotton and wool mixes with a dash of cashmere and silk thrown in for good measure. Anyway, enough chitchat - here are some pics of bunnies I've made so far...
