Bunny thumpers!

Over on KitKatKnit, there's a Bunny Thumper Challenge.

Laila is up for a challenge. Though it's a bit of a challenge just to photograph her bunny thumpers (back feet). Here are my best attempts at meeting the challenge.

First I discovered that a 5" knitting ruler was not going to cut it!


I had trouble getting her to show me her foot in any graceful way:


Success — kinda. Measuring conservatively, 5 3/8" bunny thumpers on this Bunny Thumpin' girl. They may actually be a bit over 5 1/2" but it was awfully hard to tell. She WIGGLES.


Knitting? You wanted KNITTING?

.. Maybe next time.

I wonder if I could get Ollie to hold still. I doubt it. He's 17+ pounds of wiggle. Laila has very elegant thumpers.

PS I just bought a skein of buffalo yarn for a secret project. It's very cool stuff.

Monster thumpers, they be!

How is Kaila doing, by the way?

I didn't enter the contest, but I was curious, so we measured Gromit's paw. 5¾, or thereabouts. I thought for sure Laila would have bigger feetses than him.
