One of my granddaughters turned four in February. A few days before her birthday, we were talking on the phone. I asked her what she would like for her birthday. Without missing a beat, she said, “I want you to knit me a bunny. And it needs a rainbow on its tummy.”

I replied, “Well, honey. That will take some time. Can you wait?”

She assured me she could wait.

After searching many patterns, I settled on crocheting a bunny instead of knitting. I thought it would go faster.

So most of this past month, I’ve been making the pieces of a bunny. It turned out to be quite a big project and much larger than I expected! And it’s face is quite serious looking. I hope she won’t hate it. It doesn’t have a rainbow on its tummy yet. I decided to make a little dress for it that will have the rainbow. I’ll see her next weekend for the bunny reveal. Wish me luck!
