Gerald.
Someone rather silly says he looks like a mouse wearing a jumper.
Charlie
The gang
I might have gone a little mouse crazy because this morning I found myself Charlie mouse sending an email to a friend, wishing her a fun time away in Sweden over the weekend!
I’ve always winced a bit when toy makers state each “have their own character” or authors insist “the characters tell the story, I just write it down. ” But these mice? They definitely have their own characters (one is excellent at flying) and each seems to come ready-made with their own name.
If you’re interested in knitting or crocheting a mouse, or ten, to raise funds for The Alzheimer’s Society and to set a World Record, for a mile of mice around a football ground in October, please see the Mile of Mice Facebook page for more info. Alternatively you can join the Mile of Mice Ravelry KAL (knit along) group I’ve started.
There are many knitters/crocheters taking part around the world who are sending their mice to England. If you simply want to make a donation the organiser Libby is currently in the process of setting up a ‘Just Giving’ page.
I like Gerald very much and take back my rude comments from before. Charlie is a little too pink for me but no doubt many others will love him. Is there a pattern for crocheted ones??
I don’t mind, they were funny.
You can crochet or knit a mouse using any pattern as long it measures 9″ tip of nose to end of tail.
I love your mouse and I totally understand I’ve just knitted a penguin with real attitude x
This comment made me and two others laugh loudly! Love it.
Love them, well done you, and all for a good cause! Gerald looks very cheeky.
He does have a look about him! Thanks.
a flying mouse? and one able to send emails? Looks like I’m not the only nutter around.
I admit I might be bronze to your gold standard ;-)
They are so very cute !
oh man!!! They are soooo cute.
But such a nice jumper! Love them and such a good cause.
