New Friends!!

The rabbits are multiplying...

Layla a lá Prince made two new friends this week and they are super cute!

From left to right: Rosie, Rain, and Layla a la Prince

They are so friggin' cute!

I enjoyed making these two rabbits. I learned a few things crocheting them. The most important take away for me was that the tension/tightness of my stitches equals a change in size. Depending on how tightly I make my stitches effects the size of the rabbit. 

The first rabbit I made, Layla (using frosted plum), my stitches weren't as tight as usual due to the yarn breaking if I pulled too hard. 
This time around with the Blush (Rosie) and Low Tide (Rain) colors, the yarn seem to fair better under getter tension than the frosted plum color.
Up side? I can offer two sizing options. I love when experimenting generates a positive result.

                    



The rose turned out beautiful



Unfortunately, Layla did not get much time with her new friends, they are off to their new owners.
I'm sure she will not be alone for long and my apt will be filled with more bunnies over the next few weeks!
