Ahh, what a nice way to spend an afternoon. I knit Mare's Silky-mouse! It was a blast.
My mousie is not so silky as I knit it in Kureyon instead of the Silk Garden called for in the pattern. I have some Silk Garden in the stash and will use it next time as the Kureyon was a bit sticky on the bamboo needles. I also knit very tightly so that may have added to the stickiness.
All in all this is an excellent pattern, well written, and a fun and quick knit. The braided cable down the little mouse back is to die for! I love cables....I needed something fun today as the contractors did not show up for work.....AGAIN......needless to say, I made a couple of calls and am waiting a response. Fun Fun Fun! Microwave Thanksgiving dinner anyone? Yum Yum!
I continue to knit Hugh but did not touch it all weekend. I have a big stretch of alone time over the holiday and all I plan on doing is sitting in front of the fire with my animals, my knitting, and a bunch of as yet unwatched DVDs. Hmmm I think I will pick up the new Harry Potter as well...All for now...........
Silky mouse for a silky black pussy!
