Christmas 3

Good morning, and welcome to day 3 of this Christmas marathon. 


Let me introduce you to Miss Mouse. She is part of a collection of knitted toys created by Jean Greenhowe. She also has some cousins who enjoy the other three seasons. I shall make them for another time. 


Miss Mouse looks lovely in her green cape and bonnet, and muff to keep her paws warm. I used a few small yarn scraps to make her, so she cost nothing but a bit of time. I wonder what is wrapped up in her parcel?






I hope your own Christmas activities are going well and that you have a good day.

See you tomorrow x

    1. Thank you Jules. Miss Mouse is very sweet all dressed up to be outside. I remember my Nanna making a muff for me which was very cosy to wear and it kept my hands lovely and warm x

    1. Again, she only took an evening or two to make but is very sweet. I will try and make her cousin in the Spring.

    1. She does look very festive and she obviously has done her Christmas shopping. I'm a bit behind on that front at the moment x

    1. Thank you Simone. I used Jean's patterns a lot when my children were young. They had a whole menagerie of knitted characters to play with.

  7. What a cutie. I love Jean Greenhowe's designs - they are so 'knittable' and so satisfying to make. xx

    1. I think I might be rediscovering Jean Greenhowe patterns, especially these very small designs. They are so good for using up small amounts of yarn x
