First hobby night success
‘I really enjoyed the first hobby night meeting, starting to make the bunting and having a chat. Thanks all,’ says MHWI member, Tansy Tilly.
‘We thought it would be fun to make/ accessorise the mice at the next hobby night, Thurs March 3rd. The knitting can be started ready for stuffing at the meeting, or little accessories got together to decorate if you prefer, or just turn up and do what you fancy on the night.’
We look forward to seeing the finished mice for sale at our craft fair in the Old Grammar School on Saturday 16 April.
Tansy has shared the instructions, too. Instructions for little knitted mouse
