Memo to self - read the instructions!!

Except for its ears, I’ve finished all the bits for my bunny in a basket - they just need sewing up and assembling.

Yesterday I stitched the frill (cast on 190 sts) all round the top edge of the basket - only to realise later that the handles need to be stitched on first.

And I had backstitched it on so securely that undoing it was a bugger and a half. ?
It’s not the first time I’ve done anything so daft - will I ever learn?
