terry gave me a little blue sock-bunny for christmas. it’s of a stuff like tights, bound up with thread to make a bunny face ( three stitches form three lobes, nose and each cheeky thing). Then there’s two sock- covered wire ears. apparently she got it in thailand. it’s very small.
but when I came home and mum came in after me (by an hour) she saw it and reminded me of the little paper or sock-animals on long twisted papery wands that I used to get when I was little at the fair. they look similar. but what she said was ” ‘member those little animals on sticks that you used to get?” to which I replied ” doesn’t that make it sound a bit cruel?” sounds like ritual sacrifice, in fact.
and it has a fur ruff around its neck. a bit weird, but still quite cute. makes me want to make one.
