Fuzzy Fiber Bunnies

This bunny seems very proud of her eggs!

bunnyweek_babette

KnottyKnitter40 on Ravelry made Babette the Easter Bunny using needle felting. That’s a technique I’ve never dared to try myself, so I’m impressed. (And I love those little eggs.)

And this bunny is way more fun than a cup of Earl Grey!

Bookette crocheted him from Roman Sock’s pattern for Tea Cup Bunnies.

This bunny is looking smart in a spacesuit.

bunnyweek_astrolapin

His name is Petit Astrolapin, and he’s a character from Mr. Clement’s graphic novel When We Fall. (I haven’t read it, but now I want to!) The vinyl toy is available from Kidrobot.

Moon Buns

It just wouldn’t be right to have Bunny Week without a Moon Bun!

Moons Creations was nice enough to send over a photo of this one dressed up as a lamb. I think we’ll have to call in a mathematician to determine the degree of cuteness going on here. Check out the Moons Creations Etsy shop to see more and get your own!

I also got a sneak peek at one of the Moon Bun muses, Duncan! He likes to watch war movies.

Snickelfritz the Bunny

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!

(If you have a cute bunny photo—real or knitted or whatever—send it to me at info [at] mochimochiland [dot] com and it might end up here on the Mochimochi Blog for Bunny Week!)

Bunny Facts: Swamp Rabbit

Have you heard of the swamp rabbit?

bunnyweek_swamprabbit

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.
