Pauline and Peter

    About

    When I made my last Peter Rabbit, Pat the creator of Elderberry Bunny gave me the idea of making an Elderberry as Peter. I was already part way through a new Elderberry, but this one turned out not to be a typical Peter, too cuddly, too female looking and definitely not mischievous enough. So should little Peter become too naughty he's now got an Aunty Pauline to keep him on the straight and narrow. Now I wonder why Beatrix didn't think of that.

        Thanks Alison, I love trying different yarns for the same pattern, they dont always work though and I have a carrier bag of 'mistakes' to prove it. 😄
