Green German Bunny
An old friend who now lives in Germany sent me this yarn from there to knit a bunny for her. She’ll pick it up when she comes to visit her parents.
I find this yarn extremely difficult to knit, so I wouldn't recommend it to inexperienced knitters.I have two problems with it: first, it’s very slippery, which makes it difficult for me to knit it evenly. Second, it’s made up of eight strands as thin as sewing tread (and each of those strands is made up of two strands!), so I have to watch out not to get the tip of the knitting needle somewhere between the strands (so if you ever knit some such yarn, use dull-tipped needles if you have any).
The unfinished green bunny without ears looked so much like a frog! :)
The pom pom for the tail was also very difficult to make, but I managed it somehow. As you can see, each of the strands of the yarn stands separately in it.
Then I suddenly remembered that we had some leftover acrylic yarn of similar colour. So I used it to make the bunny a new tail, which is much fluffier and more stable:
