The Knitted Rainbow Mouse Pattern is finally finished! What a labour of love…
Thank you so much for the get well messages after my last post, I’m definitely on the mend. However it’s been a bit like swimming through treacle what with the duff neck then dental problems, antibiotics and feeling weird – you know what penicillin can be like. And I changed my computer and this bit wouldn’t talk to that bit and files disappeared into the ether and then reappeared in a different format….eeeeek….my eyeballs ended up spinning in contra rotating circles while steam came out my ears.
And knitting in every available moment to make a new little mouse in every one of the Planet Penny colours too, Aubretia, Delphinium, Cornflower, Eggshell, Aqua, Jade, Apple, Lime, Buttercup, Marigold, Peach, Petal, Gerbera and Rose Red, I can recite them in my sleep!
But here they are at last…
The knitted Rainbow Mice work just as well on the Rainbow Ring as the crochet ones I think…
And round the clock…
…so if you’ve been waiting patiently for a chance to knit some mice you’ll be pleased to know the pattern is now available on Etsy, right here along with the yarn.
Higgins has been feeling rather neglected, so lonely he’s joined me in the office and is being very helpful!
He’s not impressed that ‘The Boss’ is away at work so there’s only me for entertainment.
We’ve been getting out in the garden whenever possible, you’ve got to stop to smell the roses haven’t you? After a long wait they’ve been SO gorgeous this year. This is ‘Albertine’, which clambers up the front wall and cascades around the bedroom window…
It’s wonderful, and would be perfect if it was a repeat flowerer, As it is we just have to savour it for the brief weeks when it look like this…
It’s in memory of my granny, the closest I could get to her name, Alberta.
And this is ‘Dancing Queen’, now scrambling up the studio and always reminding me of my daughter, who was dancing before she could walk!
And this beauty is ‘Eden Rose’, very spectacular and lasts well when picked so is perfect in a flower arrangement…
…and this one? I’ve lost the label! So annoying, but it’s got the most heavenly scent of all.
It’s not all work on Planet Penny!
And finally…there’s another giveaway coming very shortly, a fantastic and valuable prize which I can’t wait to share with you! So watch this space, sign up to follow the blog, find me on Facebook or Twitter because you really won’t want to miss it!

What gorgeous roses and I so love the mouse clock….very colourful
The little mice are so sweet and they look really cute around the clock xx
Oh what mighty mice you have there Penny, you are AMAZING. I forgot how perfect your cotton is too :o) I was almost tempted to buy a David Austen rose Penny,the scent was unbelievable. I get so disappointed if a rose doesn’t have a scent when I smell them.Your Eden Rose is perfection, thanks for sharing these beauties, have a happy healthy week xox Penny
Beautiful roses and love the little mice, oh and must not forget the helpful Higgins ?
aww your knitted mice are so adorable! i just know they’re going to be another hit 🙂
i’m sorry to hear you’ve been poorly… i hope your well on the mend now.
how lovely that your roses have special connections to your nearest and dearest, it must make it all the more enjoyable to see them bloom 🙂 x
Fabulous mice… and such beautiful roses!
I attempted the crocheted version of the mouse, but thought it was too big. I just love the colors and the clock idea. If you measure the mouse without the tail, how big would it be? Thanks
Your knitted mice do look as good as the crochet ones! And I love your roses. I’m sure I’ve seen the one with the bext scent but don’t know it’s name.
oh i love the mice, i cant crochet so im so glad you did a knitted version, and the cakes!cant wait
Hermosos trabajos, y hermosas rosas
I had fun playing with Higgins lol
I’m a knitting addict, and I have a dachshund! Somehow that seems like the most unlikely coincidence given that I randomly found your blog… but actually, most knitters are pretty cool, and so are most dachshund owners, so it stands to reason that I am not the only person in the world in both camps. 🙂
