Way back in 2013 there was a mystery knitalong for a stuffed animal. I’m not much for mystery-alongs but it only called for 100 yards of worsted weight yarn so I thought, “Why not?” I got out an old, old, OLD skein of Rowan All Seasons Cotton in gray because lots of animals are gray and the materials list didn’t give any guidance on color. I knit along and then we got to the final clue and I found out our “animal” was a gingerbread man! I had knit a slate gray gingerbread man. I set it aside for a very long long time. Years later I decided to finish it off as a mouse. I added ears and a tail. Then I needed to embroider the face. I hate doing this because I am really bad at it. Like, comically bad. But today I decided “Why not?” and just finished the damn thing. So here is my wonky-faced mouse, four and a half years in the making. #rosekimknits
