I'm ready!


for the knit-along

The weather's just right for finding the perfect ball of yarn, dusting off the knitting needles and finding a sunny spot to sit and knit.  

And Sarah at Say Little Hen  is more than happy to indulge us.  She has very kindly organised a knit-along to make one.....or as many as you like.....little mice. ..... Tea Mice! 

There's still time to join in if you're itching to get those needles clicking.  We start tomorrow, so it's too late to buy a kit from Sarah, but if you have some pretty yarn tucked away and a scrap of co-ordinating fabric, you're set to go. There's even time to pop out to your lys tomorrow, or duck into Spotlight if you need yarn and needles.  The pattern is easy, knitted flat and perfect for learner knitters and first timers, and you can find out how to purchase it and details of the knit-along here



I'm making mine in a soft golden yellow organic cotton that I had in my stash.   

If you not up for knitting mice, you could always just go have a look at Sarah's shop, she has lots of good things for sale there.

I can't wait to start.

    1. Some knitters have been so quick, already on their second and third mice! And they're all in such pretty colours. Mine is halfway there, I can't wait to finish it.
