Yes, I’m almost 80 yo and I raised 5 children, and each Easter they got another of Beatrix Potter’s little books in their Easter baskets. I have several copies of the little books of her entire writings. I have Peter Rabbit plates and figurines and stuffed Peter Rabbit and Jamima Puddle Duck that I put out at Easter with a miniature tea set. I watched several times the movie of her life because I love her so much. I’m looking forward to seeing how you translate her books to a crochet blanket.

Oh this is so perfect! Beatrix potter is a family favorite! Mrs. Tiggywinkle has always been my mother’s favorite! I got the entire little book set with decorative box when my eldest was tiny, she read through all of them a few years back! So exciting! We have a Peter Rabbit cookbook and a big tea tin with the characters all over it. And yes you MUST dress the part! I love that you do that! I always loved doing that. You’re bringing part of history and literature alive through crochet and I love that! It was so nice seeing your kitty as well and I loved hearing the seagulls outside your window. I’ve been stressed lately so this video really helped me to calm . Thank you for your creativity and kindness ❤❤❤

Anja, such a gorgeous cardigan, I'm glad you stood up as the longer length was a delightful surprise. I'm so excited about the Beatrix Potter CAL. Peter Rabbit was a beloved story I read to my children. I know it will be fabulous. ❤👏🧶

Will you be having a pattern for the Beatrix Potter cardigan? What level of crochet would it be? I am a beginner but I did make Agatha's Reading Shawl for my 99 year old mother. She loved it. Dewey from the Texas Hil Country.

Yes there will be a pattern once it’s released, and with the tutorial I’m sure you will be able to make it, Anja x

Disney-bounding is 'a thing' so going to the house dressed up could be considered Potter- bounding maybe. I am sure you won't be the only one to do it.
