Voodoo mouse
I made up this little mouse from a pattern I bought from Planet Penny. I wanted to get my head around a mouse shape so that I could teach my crochet class how to dc2tog (double crochet two together) to enable them to create shaping.
He is really cute and fun to make. I just felt a bit bad when I used 'him' as a pin cushion. It seemed a bit painful. I made a smaller one which I sent in the post to my friend and then I wrote my own pattern making adaptations because the one I bought was not allowed to be used in my crochet class. He has some rice in the bottom to stop him toppling over. What are you making this week?

I love him! I don't blame you for feeling badly about stabbing him with pins - poor little guy even has those 'x' eyes of cartoon victims... ;-) Chrissie x

He's really sweet Jo - but look how he's squirming since you stuck him with pins - poor little man! Never mind, he'll get used to it. Love his flat ears!

What a super little cutie Jo, I adore him. I am sure that he is quite happy keeping your pins safe and sound, he doesn't look unhappy does he - you are so talented Jo, I admire all of your work and so enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
Lots of love
