a crocheted easter

It seems the Easter bunny is partial to crochet.  I didn't even realize it until sitting down to write this post but somehow all of my Easter projects were crocheted this year.   

First, I made a set of egg-rattles with the leftovers from Johan's weather blanket.

 

And then couldn't resist making Mateo a snuggly grey Totoro (inspired of course by Melissa's blue totoro ). 

Since I was hosting Easter this year for the first time, I made these egg vase holders to help dress the table.

I got the idea from a picture I saw in a German magazine.  I just crocheted around wooden rings that I found at the craft store (and had to eat a LOT of eggs that week). 

I have to say, as a person who considers myself to be pretty exclusively a knitter, it's surprising to see how all these crochet projects snuck in there.  But, you know what, I enjoyed making every one!  Three cheers for crocheted Easter!

Oh Claire, I love those egg rattles, what a great idea! Your boys are such sweethearts! It looks like it was a glorious Easter!

All your crocheted projects are lovely. Hope your Easter celebrations went well. The Germans celebrate much more than we do in the UK. I love the way they decorate the outside of their homes as much as the inside!

Great projects (the carton of eggs just made me smile!). I need to learn to crochet. How many times I've said that when seeing you and Melissa share these projects I don't know...but seems I should just buck up and take the time to do it already. ;)
