My mother taught me to knit when I was a little girl and it's still one of my main hobbies. So when I saw this adorable House Mouse Designs Easter stamp, I had to buy it and make an Easter card for my mother. It's also perfect for today's Free for All challenge "Show Me the Bunny".

When I think about how cold it has been this spring in many parts of our country, I think these little knit sweaters might make just the perfect Easter outfit for these little chicks. This is an adorable image. Hats off to you gals who can knit. I do good to do crochet with only one hook to worry about. I know the double needles would wreak havoc with my easily confused mind! LOL

Such a cute card! My Mother knitted and my MIL knits very well. A skill I never took up. My MIL is still knitting at 94. Love her afghans. She would love this card.

This is just so sweet. I love that fabulous image and your colouring is perfect. Knitting is a passion with me too! My Mum knit children's sweaters continually (to give away).... Right up to the end.
