A little garden visitor.......

Whats this mum? Sniff Sniff........



Hello.......we have a little visitor in the garden.......





I knitted this little rat for my daughter on the weekend and could not resist having a fun photo shoot in the garden. The yarn is ....... Patons Heirloom in 5 ply for the clothes, and Moda-Vera pure wool also in 5ply for his face. 

I used 2.75 mm knitting needles and a 2.5 crochet hook for the ears. 

The main pattern comes from a very old book of mine in the Family Circle Treasury books. It was originally a mouse but I changed the ears and face a bit to make it a little rat. 






Do you recognise this plant? It's the celery that was originally growing on my kitchen window sill. It is growing beautifully outside in the garden now. :-) 



Trying to find a place to nap in his little sleeping bag...... the lettuce is not so comfortable......


The Yarrow it turns out is quite perfect.........


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Have a wonderful week everyone! 

Happy crafting  xoxoxoxox
