This little guy was made using Amanda's (GnomeAcres) Squishy Gnome base (worsted) in the colorway Butter Beer (Harry Potter inspired) using Susan Claudino's Wee Bonnie Mouse pattern. I can't say enough good things about SC's designs (or GnomeAcres yarns) especially his guy. He was a really quick and fun knit. The construction was genius and has made me look at attaching and finishing in a completely new way. Now I want to knit all my toy designs in a similar fashion. The only seaming this lil guy required was for attaching the ears. everything else was worked right into the pattern. I also really like how the appendages sit flat where they are connected and are easy to flop around. I will be knitting more mice in the future I think.
I brought this guy into work for the kindergarten class I spend my day in and the kiddos loved him! One of the little girls even wrote me the cutest thank you note! Instead of sitting on a self somewhere at my place he will now be well played with and loved just like every toy should be!
