Now here is one big bunny!
Nikkapotamus sent over this photo of her bunny Snickelfritz with her daughter, who was one year old at the time. I like a bunny that can double as an ottoman, don’t you?
Thanks Nikkapotamus!

This cute illustration is by Brooklyn artist Naoko Stoop. You can buy it as a print from her Etsy shop.
Have you heard of the swamp rabbit?
It is a variety of cottontail rabbit that lives in the swamps and wetlands of the United States!
Here are some swamp rabbit facts from The Nature Conservancy in Indiana:
– The swamp rabbit is the largest cottontail in North Ameria.
– It can swim, and it must live near water for its diet of reeds and swampy grasses.
– It can hide from predators by sitting in water with just its nose sticking out.
– One tried to jump in to a canoe paddled by President Jimmy Carter in Georgia in 1979. The press dubbed it the “Killer Rabbit,” after the rabbit in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Here is a photo of the incident:
President Carter splashed the rabbit to keep it from jumping in with him. It seems that the rabbit and the President were both unharmed.
Let’s kick Bunny Week off with a cute bunny video. This bunny opens letters!

She udderly despises puns.
Christy suggested that I make a Tiny Cow in the comments back in July last year, so she gets a free pattern!
This strange gentleman and his bunny slippers are what I’ve made to work with in the stop-motion animation class I’m taking. I’ve done a few animation tests with him, but I still have some practicing to do before getting the smooth movements that I want. Hopefully next time you see him he and his slippers will be in motion.
Ultimately I would like to animate some knitted toys, of course. That will be the next project!
I saw this preview of upcoming Photoshop magic on Pica + Pixel, and wow! It’s too amazing not to share.
If you’ve ever wondered what Photoshop does—well, this isn’t what it does yet, but I really want to get my hands on this new feature!
