Appropriate cartoon

 Yes, folks, I forgot to write.  A  bit of hospital visiting was going on which meant not much knitting was!

As  weare coming up to Brussels sprout season, I did make a couple.  Very fiddly.  



A gingerbread house bauble was also fiddly, but I worked out how to knit in in one piece instead of five with seams.


Then there was the square bunny.  So easy, can't think why I have never come across it before.  Patterns exist for croc0eht and garter stitch, but not many seem to be in stocking stich.  Anyway, on the machine, e-wrap start, 56 sts, 80 rows, gather to finish.  Turn work round so e-wrap edge is at top.  Run a line across halfway then up to middle top and down to start point.  Place stuffing in the triangle, draw up, and that's the head and ears done!  Short back seam, pull gathered edge and stuff.  Because I am rubbish at pompons, a small loop of I-cord for a tail.
