Are you knitting any thing for Easter/equinox?

[zoebugsmom]

I made a mushroom house for my kids' gnomes and I'm making some of the felted mushrooms from Myriad of Mushrooms. I'm thinking about doing a quick bunny or something, too.

What are you all doing?

Ooooh, a gnome home is a great idea. I have seen some great ones. I have several 1/2 finished gnomes hiding in one of my bags...
I am working on felted eggs and new baskets for the kids. I got some amazing green and yellow wool from my last MBOY and it is absolutely perfect for the baskets I plan on making.

For their baskets, I've made the very simple Easter chick from The Children's Year, and a little lamb from Toymaking with Children. If I have time I'd like to make the bunnies from the new "Living Crafts" mag.

I am gnitting gnome babies for each of my kids' baskets.

I started with the pattern that uses all squares but it looked baaad so I bought a pattern last night (nature something farms, I think) and started over again. So far, I like it better.

Oh, and I enlarged the pattern by half since I didn't want them to be tiny.

This is only my third project . . I made each kid a pair of wool pants over the past couple months. I love knitting!!

No, but only because DS1 turns 11 on Easter Monday. I'm making him the International Sock of Doom and Webknits Make Believe Crown.

Yup. Easter Dragons (Norberta). I have to knit the scales & one body, then piece them together which I am dreading :P

I also knit a horse for my daughters basket, which I must felt today and then do the finishing stuff on.

No -- I really wanted to knit the MochiMochi reversible chicken-and-egg toy, from Craft:zine, but just didn't get around to it. Next year.

I did some teeny tiny toys to go inside plastic eggs for a playgroup easter egg hunt...and then just found out it was cancelled. Gahh. So I guess my daughter gets the loot herself!

I'll eventually be posting pics and patterns for the ones I made up myself...a couple are from other patterns.

I also did a bunch of Jean Greenhowe's eggs for another playgroup event, and those went over really well. Super easy, fast, and hold an egg shape well.
