It's happening! I've been toying with the idea of publishing a children's book for most of my life. As a matter of fact, Puppy Pete's Imaginary Jungle was originally written over twenty years ago.
I now have my final manuscript back from my editor and am beginning the illustration process. Like everything in my life, I'm doing this a bit differently.
I ordered a huge light-box, which will be Puppy Pete's living room. It arrived safely and is now set up in my garage. It may be a tad bigger than I envisioned. It'll work though. (see glamours picture below)
My prototype Puppy Pete has been designed, along with a mud splat. I am now working on the backdrop. For more details, please see my Puppy Pete Project page:
I hope you're as excited as I am.
Love & Light, Rachel
I'm currently working on making the Puppy Pete pattern and have a question about the leg. On round 3 I start out with 8 sts and am supposed to end up with 11. The problem is that I count 8 sts even after the 3 modified puff stitches at the end of the round. What am I doing wrong?
I love this little puppy and his story. I would love to make one of these precious little puppies but can't find a pattern. Is there one available?
Adorable book!!! I can’t find the pattern for puppy Pete though. I go to the link given and there is nothing there.
