Easiest is cast on bar first, using waste yarn a contrast yarn used to cast on then disgard. Knit one row at tension around 6 for 4 ply. Hook cast on bar, metal over yarn between sinker hooks (the metal spkiey rail at front) and pull down firmly. Then knit slowly arcross all needles. Do this for about ten rows. Now if this isn't working the needle sponge bar may be worn, the sponge can lose its bounce and you will just keep dropping stitiches and its extremely frustrating. I have taught kntting for 15 years but its very difficult to explain hre, try looking a 'you tube' for some fantastic beginners videos, to get you started.

I have been thinking about rabbits in litterature and they seem to be few and far between. I just remembered Hester from the His Dark Materials series (Lee Scoresby's daemon but was she a hare?). Hester is a good name I think. Also Hestia, who is the Goddess of the Hearth. Another good name. I will now think about something else! Like so many others, I seem to have your rabbit on the brain.

Hazel is the main character in the book (and film) Watership Down - which is probably a wee bit before your time but marked my childhood. Hazel the character was actually a boy but I think if people kintted their own Hazel they could think of it as a boy or a girl couldn't they? Anyway. I enjoy reading your blog so thanks for working so hard to keep it up. Hi Ysolda.

Basil if it is boy. I really can’t decide if your bunny is a boy or a girl, I guess a girl since I can think of more girl names than boy names: Opal, Iris or Isa (pronounced Eee-sa).
