orange sherbert crocheted rabbit
By Heather on Thursday, July 20th, 2006
okay, i know it’s spelled sherbet but it sounds like sherbert. anyway, this is one from my photo archives. just another one of those things of mine which are packed away in storage while i’m here in japan. another thing to miss, i suppose.
i made this before i had heard of the word ‘amigurumi’ and just thought ‘crocheted bunny rabbit’.
I made this out of some very light soft mohair that i rescued from my nana’s stash of yarn. i could not have kept it all and saved this only. and made this rabbit. i loved the way the light was glowing through the synthetic translucency of it all. Flickr tells me this photo was “Taken on October 4, 2004 ()” I guess I was back in Ireland then… and spending most of the time working with this yarn thinking about Nana knitting, and how precious this one skein of yarn was.
This is how I constructed the bottom. It’s weird… I left holes for the arms and legs. it did make it more awkward. I think I might have been trying to conserve yarn.
this is him before piecing

I have just learned of Amigurumi and came across you beautiful bunny. I have four lovely little grandaughters with one on the way Friday November 10,2006.
I don’t know if this is appropriate and hope that you do not mind my asking if there is a pattern for this wonderful bunny and if you would consider sharing it.
It grabbed my attention, because you have taken some yarn and created something that almost comes alive with its own personality.
Very nice work.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration.
