Teapot Mouse

Hello again, since moving to Bulgaria and having the huge task of renovating an old farm I have not had enough hours in the day, let alone knit, so yesterday I downed tools and searched for my needles.
We have just literally made a kitchen so decided to knit up a little bit of fun to add to it :D



Found the perfect place for my new teapot Mouse :D

PATTERN AVAİLABLE IN PDF FORMAT, just ask   :)

Holiday Mice

  These little fellas only take a couple of hours to make. Not to waste any time, on to the details!

You can knit the mice flat on straight needles, or in the round (the brown ones are knit flat, the grey one in the round, so you can see there is little difference). The materials list says to use worsted weight yarn because that's what I usually use. The larger mice are made with worsted weight yarn, but the little one is made with sport weight yarn on 3 mm needles (he's only 2" tall), so you can really use whatever you have. The hood is knit flat with a seam up the back, and the beret is knit in the round, so you can make whichever you are comfortable with. Little details like bells, pom-poms, and ribbon bows are optional, but very cute!

Holiday Mouse

Materials: 15 g worsted weight yarn in main colour (MC), 10 g of worsted weight yarn in contrasting colour (CC), small amount of pink worsted weight yarn, stuffing, pair of 8 mm safety eyes or buttons (or black yarn), 4 mm (US size 6) set of dpns or pair of needles, tapestry needle

Size: 8 cm (3")

Gauge: 22 sts and 32 rows per 10cm (4˝) in st st

Notes: Instructions are written for knitting flat with straight needles. To knit the toy in the round on dpns, knit all odd rows, rather than purling them (except for bobbles). Please note that you may need to shuffle sts between needles occasionally, in order to work the increases and decreases. Remember to attach safety eyes and stuff head before working Row 16.

Finishing
If you're not using safety eyes, sew on button eyes, or embroider them with black yarn. Embroider a nose with pink yarn. Sew bound-off edge of ears to head or hat. Sew head to bound-off edge of body. Sew hat onto head (add a bit of stuffing to the hat if you like). For the tail, make a braid or a length of I-cord from pink yarn. If you're hanging the mouse on a tree, add a loop of yarn to the top of the head. If the mouse will be a toy, you may want to sew down the sides of the bobble feet.

Side view

Lady Mouse, Beatrix Potter

LADY MOUSE

This delightful character made her appearance in the book The Tailor of Gloucester™ first published in 1903. The Tailor of Gloucester™ was Beatrix Potter's own favourite among all her books. The story is set in "the time of swords and periwigs and full-skirted coats." While toiling in his shop one Christmas season, the Tailor looked up from his work to see a lady mouse dressed in finery peeking around a cup on the sideboard! She shyly curtsied before hopping down and disappearing under the wainscot."



I love the detail on Lady Mouse, she was a joy to knit up.

Jemima Puddleduck

Hello again, I have knitted up Jemima, had been searching for this pattern for so long until a lovely lady found one for me.

Spongebob Squarespants and his friends

Its been fun knitting up these guys, I love knitting toys always puts a smile on my face. The Spongebob gang is complete and I must say they are getting on rather well together!!!



Now what shall I knit next.........

Squidworth

Still knitting up my Spongebob family...



In case you are wondering (which I doubt you are lol ) how I got him to stand well, I didn't have any pipe cleaners or wire .... but I did have a small unused xmas tree, so cut off a few branches from my artificial tree, took all the plastic pine needles and there you go 6 squidworth legs :D

Mr Beans Bear

I'm a Mr Bean fan and have been surfing the net trying to find an authentic  Mr Bean Bear and I stumbled across this one. The pattern was designed by Sarah and she went to great lengths to create the pattern, I think shes done a great job. ,










Here's my finished Mr Beans bear..contact me if you would like to purchase him..

Knitted bed blanket

This is how my knitting began, here in Turkey where I live it tends to get very cold in the Winter, I couldn't find a purple throw or blanket to match my bedroom, so the obvious answer was to make one. In the past I have always sewed, making numerous clothes for the kids, the problem here was I couldn't even find the right material. my friend suggested I knit one!! well there was a challenge set for the Winter months....

Five Months later and now getting very tired of seeing purple wool it was finished, we did get to use it for a few weeks before the Summer arrived, but at least this Winter we are going to be nice and warm.

Boris the bear that my grandma made me when I was six and his friend Venice bear also got matching new outfits, looking very dapper I am sure you'll agree ;D

Knitted Pig Slippers

I simply have to put my Knitted pig slippers on my blog, believe it or not they are quite simple to make, a basic slipper and then abit of imagination :D

They started off as a basic slipper like this:




If anybody is interested in these I shall write down more about making them, you can make any animal you want once you have knitted up the base.
