I had to laugh last week when CathieJ commented: I was going to agree that that bunny is adorable but I happened to glance at him quickly and there is quite a gleam in his eyes. I’m not sure if it is evil or mischievous. Never-the-less, this is a great pattern. I have to admit that I’d noticed that gleam…
