Snake and Bunny

     We built our home on 5 acres, then had to come to terms with the existing tenants. Seems there was a large warren of bunnies as well as an assortment of snakes. This is the story of the Killer Bunnies, who have inspired two new patterns.

     One morning there was a great slamming and tussle
out on the front porch. 

We all came together from our various pursuits for the strangest sight was to be had. There, rolling around in a death grip was a jack rabbit, twisting around a diamond back rattler. 

I didn't have the nerve to come within 8 feet of one, here was this rabbit holding on for dear life kicking with it's hind legs. Who knew these furry bunnies had it in them. The rabbit lost it's grip and that snake slithered right up the poplar tree.

    For several weeks after the attack we saw the snake. Poor thing had a long gash down it's side but it had survived the attack of the Killer Bunny.

    This story always inspires me to keep fighting against my diseases. When I get really inspired, designs flow. Sort of like the spice on Arrakis must flow. Diamond Back is a hat and sock pattern with the snakes diamonds. Killer Bunny's is a color work hat pattern full of bunny's. Together they should be in a book. Bunny actually has bunny yarn in it for the ears, tails and other soft areas.

Killer Bunny Set

Here we have silver for the bunnies, black for emphasis, contrast and the ribbing.

Hat is worked in blocked off sections of colors for loads of fun. There's a lace section full of yummy clovers for our bunnies.

Sock set includes one additional bunny in the color work section. There's a good bit of color blocks in the socks and contrasting toes, heels and ribbing to allow for a bit more fun.
