***PRE-ORDER*** Locket's Year of Little Cotton Rabbits - Cownelius the Antiques Dealer
Welcome to Locket's Year of Little Cotton Rabbits
For November we have a Cownelius the Antiques Dealer and his Great Niece Daisy the Potter!
The theme came from Julie herself who suggested I create a "Bull in a China Shop" and the ideas just blossomed!
Cownelius' is a Freisian - especially in November when his elderly body really feels the cold, and he is knitted in Scheepjes Terrazzo, a 100% recycled blend of 70% Merino and 30% viscose in a tweedy black shade and a small amount of undyed 100% merino DK.
He is somewhat eccentric as befits his name, profession and vintage, but is a kindly soul and is incredibly proud of his emporium - Bovine Antiques - and his only real peculiarity is a tendency to hide inside some of the larger pottery pieces on display, a habit he appears to have passed down to Daisy, and which has no connection whatsoever to the fact that I may not have quite finished making them!!
His outfit is created with my hand dyed 75/25 Merino/Nylon 4ply mini skeins and there are additional accessories and pure wool stuffing - but the full details are secret!!!
HAND DYED YARNS WILL HAVE SUBTLE VARIATIONS IN SHADE
