I am so happy to say “ta dah” the colourful stripy mouse is finished at last! I know you cannot tell from the images but inside his tummy, hands and feet are some bags of plastic beans so he is nicely weighted and sits really well.
He looks so sweet on his matching baby blanket.
I just popped off to replace the battery in my camera and when I came back he was helping himself to some cheese and crackers, with a few grapes on the side no less! Think I have created a rather sophisticated chap?
Really happy with how he has turned out especially considering he was originally going to be a giraffe! See link below for more on that little mishap.

I love the idea of giving a baby blanket with a little coordinated toy. He’s a really cute little mouse!

Wow, he is brilliant. I am going to have to start practicing my knitting so I can make one of these! I am going to be an aunt for the first time this year and he would make an awesome gift, but then I think I want one just for me! 🙂

It’s hard letting things go sometimes, you can become quite attached as your making them.

No, I just used the same yarn to embroider the features on his face.

He is rather sweet isn’t he, I have him sat on the matching blanket on a chair. I suppose I will have to let him go eventually though.
