Did you ever have one of those days when you woke up and knew with fearful certainty that absolutely nothing else would be accomplished until you had knit yourself an extremely tiny specimen of Oryctolagus cuniculus?
Fortunately, in preparing Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, Anna Hrachovec (the benevolent queen of mochimochiland.com) had anticipated this eventuality and provided a pattern. It took about thirty minutes scratch to my itch.
Cute, right? Yes. But...pedestrian. Unremarkable.
The eyes had to go. Too predictable. Bigger. Brighter. Caffeinated.
Better.
Then, a haircut that didn't look like a haircut. Something tousled and shaggy, probably unwashed, maybe styled with an ironic nod to the 1970s and The Doobie Brothers but decidedly modern in color.
And a piercing, of course.
I was going to complete the makeover by knitting the bunny an extremely small Death Cab for Cutie t-shirt, but he had decided this post was So Over.
Pefectomundo!
ReplyDeleteYou are a brilliant genius.
ReplyDeleteNever had One of Those Days, but I feel one coming on. Elisabeth
ReplyDeleteYou could do one of these as a measuring tape cover for Abigail as a stocking stuffer. Pull by a foot, I believe. Or put the tail off to the side.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the piercing!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteThis totally explains the corgi I suddenly had to produce one day from Knit Your Own Royal Wedding and the two moles that came from another source (a Rowan book? can't recall right now). Your last tag explains it all.

Thank god the piercing was in the ear. I was afraid to scroll down and had my pearls all ready for clutching.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero.
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteLove Anna and Mochimochiland, and you Franklin... because you have this effortless way with a post that's both specific and farther reaching at the same time. I adore tiny knits, but beware! They can become an addiction... Mochicrack... Hehehe
ReplyDeleteJust one more reason why I love stopping your world... always good for a bright spot in my day.
ReplyDeleteHa! Is that Bodhidharma rolling his eyes in the background?
ReplyDeleteGlad you got that out of your system!
ReplyDeleteLove the purple bunny...piercing and all. And the dreadlocks sum up the bad bunny perfectly. -- Joe-in Wyoming
ReplyDeleteBunny love ... I like a rabbit with attitude ;D
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
ReplyDeleteGenius.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE
ReplyDeleteAnd definitely bunny-ish. That is so exactly what they do when they are done with you.
You have an adorable punk bun. I think it is 100 times better with the caffeine eyes.
ReplyDeleteHis piercing made me giggle at work
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! =:8
ReplyDeletethe mind of franklin habit is a curious thing indeed!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that Rabbitch?
ReplyDeleteI loved all the pictures ... but the one with the piercing made me SQUAWK with delight!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a bunny with attitude.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile and giggle on a grey & cloudy day!
ReplyDeleteHe is a wonderfully demented creation!
ReplyDeleteWatch out, those tiny knits are very addictive
ReplyDeleteThere can never be enough small bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI love that book! The armadillo makes a very nice turtle if you knit the shell in a variegated brown color and the body in green ;-)
ReplyDeleteBunstrous!
ReplyDeleteThat is so super cute...actually looks like one of my cousins.
ReplyDeleteI amused but calm until I saw the stitch marker piercing. Then I snorted...thank God I didn't have a mouthful of coffee!
ReplyDeleteMy thought after reading this one: "oh c**p, he's done it again". I'll have to wake the DiscoDame so she can see this.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! The Panopticon meets mini-mochi...two of my favorite faves, together at last! Love it...
ReplyDeleteGamma22 - I did have the mouthful of coffee...still looking out through a daguerreotype haze....
ReplyDeleteAm having a perfectly horrible November (it all began with that freakish show storm lat month) and I needed a good laugh. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have learned to never have a mouthful of coffed while reading a new post from you. This was hilarious! The hair, eyes and piercing--just screams attitude!
ReplyDeleteany words of wisdom on how to get the coffee off of my computer screen? Thanks for the morning laugh
ReplyDeleteyou think you have problems. I've just completed a life-size whippet and am currently working on an aardvark. I am, officially, beyond help. Save yourself. Never step over into the dark side of crochet, that way madness lies...
ReplyDeleteBunny ROCKS
ReplyDeleteLove it. You crack me up. See you in Seattle!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I never do my toys as they are recommended. (Why do I even knit toys, there's no practicle use for them. I battle this addiction daily.)
ReplyDeletehee heee. So funny bunny.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my image of Chicago ,on my blog today please, teacher.
I happened to be walking through the zoo and noticed the light was so lovely...
And yet, I can see this bunny, like his creator, lounging on a chaise, sipping a glass of port while reading Jane Austen or one of the Brontes. . .
ReplyDeleteGreen dreds - tee hee!
ReplyDeleteI had this issue with a chicken from the same book this morning. I knitted two, but neither were as hip as your bunny. On the other hand, a friend of mine squeed this afternoon when I handed her one, so it was definitely a win.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I ever had that particular hankering when I woke up, but I do know the feeling. And if I ever do get that hankering, I will know precisely what to do with it. I will give it to you... that is one cool bunrab!
ReplyDeleteFranklin, ur going to be in NY soon and oh so tempted to take a class it hurts...hands down my favorite blogger
ReplyDeleteAh, talk to the tail!
ReplyDeleteOf course, what a great site and enlightening posts, I surely will bookmark your blog.Have an awsome day!Togel Bola Online

The best factor about training a five-year-old to knit is referring to stamp collecting with a five-year-old. One of my nieces discovered on Easter time and she LOVES to talk about her stamp collecting with me.
