How safe are safety eyes?
Ok, I know they are called safety eyes, but are they really safe? What's up with that? Just curious. I am knitting a little Easter bunny for a BABY (1st Easter)....I am just trying to figure out what to do for the eyes. I'd love to hear your input.

Thanks!

I don't trust safety eyes. For babies and small children I embroider the eyes on. I found a tutorial a while back that shows how to make really good looking eyes. Here is the link. http://esunbeams.com/knittycat/patterns/knittycatsYarnKnotEyesforPeepsTutorial.pdf
