Fences make good rabbit neighbors
See what the bunnies are doing to the basil? They’re turning it into basil trees. They’re nuts. They’re attacking everything, even the garlic, onions and mint they’re supposed to hate. It’s not like they don’t receive huge and varied amounts of food from me. Not good enough, apparently.
Behind this you can see the start of a fence that now surrounds the red clover field. There’s no other way to keep them out of it.
Here they are enjoying the clover field before it was fenced off. Do they look underfed to you?
Ed comes in for a snuggle with Lucy while Fred relaxes.
Aren’t they cute…
…as little buttons?
These photos were all taken through a window, thus the poor quality. If I had gone outside they would have moved.
Socks
Here are the latest finished socks. They were made using a random cable pattern. I created an excel spreadsheet with the cell’s height and width adjusted so that each cell was square. Then I copied a random number generating formula into each cell so it displayed a random number between 1 and 4. 1 - cable front. 2 - cable behind. 3 and 4 - knit two stiches straight. This is a a cable with two stitches crossing over another two.
Here they are in action. Nothing makes calves and ankles look bigger than socks photographed at this angle.
And here’s a closeup.
