Where is the classified section?

You know the blue bar under the rabbits online picture, there is a blue bar under the picture and it says Home, Photos, Articles, Rabbits, Classifieds, Groups, Videos. Its on that bar. I didn't see the classifieds section for a while either .

I got it! It went to my spam for some reason, so I had to rescue it. That's an account that doesn't normally get any spam, so I noticed it before I checked my PM here What size hook did you use? And is it safe to assume that's just worsted/DK weight yarn? I'll grab a skein of Red Heart tomorrow when I'm at work again.

Sorry for the late reply, I was watching Iron Man 2

Strange, I don't know why it ended up in the spam folder. The hook I used is missing, but I'm pretty sure it was a 4.25 mm hook. I'm not sure if it really matters what size hook you use though. Also yes, the brand was Red Heart and I think it was worsted weight.

Haha! That's funny! She must be really disapproving at times to get that many pictures, lol.

she's my little attitude bunny, lol

I just remembered I used a size H hook. It was definitely a size H. I'm so sorry about the other post I had thought it was a 4.25mm at first.

Okay cool! My H hook is my favorite, because it's one that I got with a bamboo handle and I love it. I learned to crochet from my crochet instructor at work (I'm the education coordinator at a fabric store with classes) and she's so helpful. These are her favorite hooks so I tried one and love it. /babble babble

Cool! That's great that you get to use your favorite hook! That's cool that someone showed you how to crochet. I learned crochet pretty much from Youtube.

I made a new white bunny from the same pattern as the brown bunny. I tried to correct the problems the old one has. Here it is. Let me know what you think.

^ As you can see, I compared the two. I used a much smaller hook for the white one. And a big hook for the brown one.

Your crocheted bunnies are adorable! I think its an awesome idea to make them special order and sell them here (we certainly have lot's of bunny lovers who I'm sure would love to have one of their own) :happybunny:

P.S. I would love an orange or harlequin one ; )

 

[Tauntz]

You can put me on the list for one of your crocheted bunnies when I can. Have you figured out the price you will be charging? I would offer my services to test your pattern but I'm new to this kind of crocheting. I can crochet about any afghan pattern. lol

I know, lots of bunny owners would like to haev one that looks like their own bun.

Yes, I think orange would be adorable! harlequin would look great too.

I'm not sure how much I'd charge yet, I was thinking maybe $10 I'm not sure yet. I may lower or higher the price. If you would like to test the pattern I'll send it to you.

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Also, if I sell them I'll probably give a choice if people would like me to crochet a bunny with the smaller hook and the bunny would be the shape and size of the white bunny if I used a smaller hook. Or if the would like me to crochet a bunny with a bigger hook and it would be the shape and size of the brown bunny. I could also try to make the crochet bunny look more like the customers bunny by modifying the pattern a little, for instance if the bunny I was crocheting had smaller ears than the bunny on my pattern I would modify the ear pattern and make the ears shorter.

 

[Tauntz]

I would love to test your bunny pattern! Of course, I think the real test will be how well I can crochet your pattern! lol Afghans are so simple & I haven't crocheted many other projects so I hope I can do a good job with the bunny! If I make it & it turns out well, you will know for sure ANYONE can make it! lol Oh, & I think I know just the color yarn to use for bunny! What size crochet hook did you use for big bunny & what size for little bunny?

Sure! Just pm me your email and I'll email it to you. Haha, you can't be that bad at crochet, when I first started one of my first projects was 'going' to be a blanket but I wasn't counting my stitches and the whole thing got thicker at the bottom of the blanket so I sewed it up into a dress. I can post pictures of it if you want to see it. I used an H size crochet hook for the big bunny and for the small bunny I used a lace hook, yup, its for crocheting lace. Anyway before I was more educated on crochet and crochet hooks I went on Ebay to find an auction for a lot of crochet hooks it said that they were crochet lace hooks but I didn't know the difference so I bidded and won the auction. It was cheap around 7 dollars though so definitely not a waste of money. Anyway, I bought the hooks and they arrived in the mail and I realized that I had bought really tiny hooks that wouldn't even be able to crochet yarn. But I realized that the package came with different sizes of lace hooks so I looked at them all and I found a few that were big enough to work with some yarn. So I tested and made a tiny lion with one of them and I found the stitch was very tight, much tighter than if I used regular crochet hooks. That's why the brown bunnies ears flop (I'll put wire in the ears to fix that problem, especially if I sell crochet bunnies made with a big hook) and the white bunnies ears don't flop I used the small hook and the ear stitches were so tight that they didn't flop. Anyway, enough of my blabbering you were asking what size hooks I used. So for the white bunny I used a hook that say 2 on it, so I'm not really sure how you would find one to buy. I guess if you went to a yarn store they might have something tiny to work with. I dunno I'm not sure where you would get one, but if I do find out what 2 means I'll let you know. Otherwise I think if you can just find a very small crochet hook it should do nicely with making your crochet bunny small at least I think it would work.

Wow, I didn't mean to write such a long post. I guess I felt a bit wordy right now, or I just had so much to say . And here I am making it longer I better stop now or I'll go on all day, lol. :biggrin:

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

Oh Tauntz, this is the lace hook I crocheted the white rabbit with.

That will give you an idea of what size hook to look for if you ever want to try crocheting the white rabbit.

 

[Tauntz]

Thanks! I went ahead & ordered an H hook from Amazon. Got tired of looking & hoping so thought wouldn't hurt to have 2 anyway! lol Who knows might get mom back into crocheting. So it is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Just as well I have a very busy Monday & Tuesday! By Wednesday I will need something relaxing to do while watching TV with the buns! Yes, I have a hard time just sitting still. I like to be busy even when watching TV! lol
