You can purchase my pattern for $4.95 and I will email it within 24 hrs per PDF format. It is an easy beginner pattern done in worstled weight yarn in SC in the round. Very forgiving as most mistakes will look intentional! Make in a weekend. Pattern includes adult and child size and pattern for attached flowers.

Miss Cottontale update!

Miss Cottontale has been relocated to the front yard away from the eager jaws of our carnivorous cats. She had a near miss and was caught for a couple minutes but Mr. Cat was relieved of his catch and we moved her safely away from his area of the yard. After doing some research it appears baby bunnies are on their own at a month of age and she should be able to manage for herself.

Baby Wildlife in the yard!

Here is Miss Cottontale in the yard hiding near a Peony bloom. Don't know where her mother went but I am sure she will come get her later...
