Furry Fairies
What could be cuter than little fairy mice.
These knitted Furry Fairies are by Alan Dart - one of my favourite designers for interesting and cute characters. I have previously made the Snow Queen and the Pudding Pixie from his patterns.

The original pattern has the mice holding stars but I have changed mine to crocheted hearts. They each have little silver wings and a pretty skirt.
The knitting up time is about an hour for each mouse - it's the making up time that's longer - but they're worth it.
All we need now is a Christmas tree to hang them on. I took these pictures outside in the front garden and received some strange looks from a passing workman - isn't it normal to take pictures of woolly mice in trees?

I think it's perfectly normal don't worry!
ReplyDeleteThey look really good :)
Perfectly normal, what a strange woman, hasn't she ever dangled her woolly creations from a tree and taken pictures, some people don't know what they are missing ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable and as far as the workmen, who cares.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with taking photos of mice in trees! I would!
ReplyDeleteI love your mice! They are so cute! I recently found the mouse pattern from a link in the Simply Knitting magazine. I'm sooooo gonna make it!
Those are so very cute - you should make a million of them and decorate your whole town with them! Okay, maybe not...but it seemed like a good idea for a second. I bet that workman secretly wishes he had a tree full of them for his very own. :)
