I happened to be in JoAnn’s on Good Friday and had been sent this pin earlier. JoAnn’s had Vickie Howell yarn on sale, so guess who made themselves a pink peep bunny for Easter. I gave mine a blue crocheted bowtie. He was a hit at the festivities.

Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.

Really cute, Vickie! I live in Bethlehem, Pa., where Peeps are made–I might make one for my grandson in blue(ish)…
I love that! I’m working on a Robin’s Egg(ish) one for my son right now. 🙂
Very sweet!
I love this little rabbit…but the link for the printable download is not working 🙁

Huzzah! Glad you made an extra dapper version! xo
Vicki,
Thank you for sharing the bunny pattern. Appreciate all your extra work to do so.

My pleasure, Loretta! Thanks for the nice note. 🙂
Thanks for the sweet bunny pattern. I will make these for next Easter for kids that are having to spend Easter at a Woman’s Shelter
What a wonderful idea, Beaj!
