I am always amazed by how much Georgia loves yarn.

She'll beg me for the skein of yarn sitting on the table, and the

moment I give it to her she's snuggling it and usually goes to sit

down and suck her thumb.  She truly finds comfort in it!

I've decided to make her a "big sister" gift for when Phoenix

arrives.  I searched and searched for the right pattern and finally

found it.  I wanted to make this gorgeous octopus, but figured

I just didn't have the time to focus on it before October.  So, my

next favorite animal that I found was this Big Cuddly Bunny.

I really think Georgia will love it.  So far it is turning out well

and I haven't had any problems with it (we'll see how I do when

I get to the ears).  It's knitting up rather quickly and easily! :)

I'm using a lightweight ring as my stitch marker since I don't

have any jumbo stitch markers.  Hey... you do what you gotta

do... and it works!
