Eek! A mouse!


Not really a mouse. But a fabulous mouse toy, nonetheless. I knit a little teeny-tiny series of stripes to help me check the flow of colours I'd got.

It's just about mouse-sized and it has a tail because I did a tail cast-on. My cat LOVES this toy. It's quite possibly the most fun she's had in years. Maybe sometime I'll find it again (every so often it appears ominously at the foot of the bed in the morning) and photograph what it looks like now. Its not anything like as mouse-like, except when it's at the foot of the bed whereupon it looks dreadfully like a disembowelled mouse.

I took its picture to try to use the image-manipulation software on my computer as a sort of ruby beholder. I think it worked out OK as a scheme.
The light green (called sage by the company) comes out of the b&w image as a bit forward, which it's probably fair to accuse it of being on the sweater in reality, too. I like it, though, so I'm not too worried about it.
