Blogtober 2022 – the end, with free mice!

I can’t believe how quickly the month has flown by. Compared to a lot of people I’ve been seeing out on social media who have been blogging daily, I’ve been pretty rubbish! But I’m actually counting my efforts as a personal success. I’m getting back the blogging mindset, and it’s lovely to have contact with people in this way. I’ve been digging around in the archives, very dusty and cobwebby with a lot of mice scurrying around!

So, I’ve decided to celebrate by sharing the mouse patterns today. The crochet mice pattern is the one which started me off as a business, over ten years ago. A complete fluke, but I ran with it!

At the time I had a shock when it was discovered by an American craft site and 7,500 copies of the pattern were downloaded for free in one day! After that I put it on my online shop. But since I don’t have the shop anymore, I’d still like to share the pattern, so here it is.

And by popular demand I later created a knitted version so the knitters among you can have their own mice as well…

Knitted Rainbow Mice made with Planet Penny Cotton

which you can find here…

I really hope you enjoy them. Although I can no longer supply the cotton yarn there seems to be a lot of rainbow packs available online these days. I wonder, did I start a trend?! When I was hunting for yarn thirteen years ago it was impossible to find all the colours I wanted from one brand, which is why I ended up finding a European supplier and starting my own business. There are lots of colours available from Love Crafts and also Hobbii to name just two.

I’d really love to know if you use the patterns to create your own multicolour mischief of mice, they make great stocking fillers!

I’ll be back soon…x

    I remember the mice, the clock, the 7K rush AND I bought a rainbow pack of cotton! It was right at the beginning of learning to crochet and beginning my blog (still going!) good to find that you’re still around, blogging.

    It was through your rainbow mice that I found you in the first place! I really enjoyed reading your posts through Blogtober 🙂 xx
