Aw.
Pattern: Bunny Tail from “itty-bitty hats” by Susan B. Anderson
Yarn: About 2/3 ball of Sublime Kid Mohair Blend
Needles: #5
Size: 6-12 mos
I was inspired by the super-cute one that the owner of Charlotte Yarn did as a shop model. This was a tolerably quick knit – the mohair was a bit “sticky” even on my addi turbos. I’d do this again. It’s just an adorable pattern.
It did, however, lead to this rather horrifying conversation with Turtlegirl76. I brought the hat in to Charlotte Yarn and showed it to her during the shop’s Mother’s Day event yesterday. Turtlegirl76 had loaned me the #5 DPNs I needed to finish off the ears.
Her: That turned out really cute.
Me: Thanks!
Her: What yarn did you use? Is it the same as Remy used for her bunny hat?
Me: Yep!
Her: Am I handling mohair right now?
Me: …
Her: …
Me: Oops.
Ack! I forgot you were allergic to mohair, Turtlegirl! Sorry sorry sorry! I hope your hands didn’t itch too much for the rest of the day! I owe you something nice.
