Sometime before Christmas 2008, a good friend told me she was having a hard time finding bunny slippers for her youngest daughter. Me: "I can probably make them." So, we went to a Joann's store and found the perfect yarn for the body of the slipper and I added my own touches by using a fur-like yarn to make them fuzzy bunny slippers. I used two different patterns I found on the Internet (one for the slipper, the other for the bunny head) and had a fairly successful pair of slippers. They were enough of a hit that I made the two older daughters similar slippers with frog heads attached. -- Joyce

I'm just going to share the joy of a simple, slightly lacy edging.I still love this sweater, which is good, because otherwise working an edging can become a stuff-in-the-linen-closet event in the life of a project.
