Oh So Cute

Hello all, well Halloween came, went, and left a lot of candy on the shelves. This is not good for me in particular, actually, it's easier to trick or treat for adults after the Holiday is over...70% off the bags. Too bad they don't last until next year, or, maybe they do. Not here at my house... I am a chocolate lover at heart.

So much so... these are Chocolate Chinchilla Rabbits, mom, dad, and one baby out of six. They are doing so well and that makes me happy. But, boy can they eat!

I finally, yes finally, finished the mitts to this set. Oh my goodness did it take some calculating at least for me. By the way the yarn used is Vanna Whites. I will post the pattern to the mitts below. I really liked they way this set turned out. So cozy warm for the cold days ahead.

Just had to show you more babies. There one is a ,white magpie as they are called and she is staying with me. She is so adorable and friendly. These guys are now close to 4 weeks old and the mom is due for another litter...I am bad didn't separate them in time. They can see each other now yet can interact. I can tell you if there is one thing rabbits like its making babies. Out in the wild they have up to six or more, however, not all survive due to the elements they have to endure, especially in the winter months. The animal lovers community is so friendly and helpful it really warms one's heart.

Okay, so here goes with the pattern. I am not the best at writing them, so, let me know if you have any problems.
