A Christmassy giveaway

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

It pains me to say it, but I have to admit defeat on finishing off the batch of seasonal themed animals. Time has not been on my side and I have a heap of unfinished animals here and not enough hours left to finish them before last posting dates arrive. So instead I'm going to give away the little Christmas mouse who is the only fully finished one of the batch.

 

Giveaway

 

To be in with a chance of winning her please just leave a comment on this post and I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner next Tuesday (December 8th).

If you were hoping to have one of my animals I'm sorry to disappoint but I'll be working on a batch now to have ready before Easter so I'll keep you posted on progress with those. I'll also be working on a new pattern in the new year and will keep the blog updated with news of that. As always, if you want to get advance email notice of any of my finished projects and patterns then please send me an email and I'll add you to my mailing list.

Thanks x

……………………………………………………………….

PS: If you wanted to knit your own little mouse like this one it is just a combination of my girl mouse pattern with the reindeer dress from my 'seasonal dresses' pattern (slightly modified to work the body in brown and the antlers in grey). All of my patterns are available on either Ravelry or Etsy

 

……………………………………………………………….

Mouse win

 

The random number generator has picked number 33, which is Lauren H.

Thanks so very much to all those who took the time to enter. I hope to have at least 1 more giveaway in 2016 and will keep you posted.

  477. I just love everything you create, and this little girl is a darling! Don’t feel bad at all for not finishing your Christmas creations. It happens to all of us! The important thing is to realize that we only have so much time, and the best thing we can do is to spend it with our families. You are so sweet to share this special girl with one of us. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family. There will be time for everything else later!

I’m trying to knit a little boy bunny, my first toy from your collection for my very first grandchild who is due to make an arrival this Christmas. I love your little creatures and just hope that I can make a wee rabbit this month. A little Christmas mouse would be very special for this new little babe.

    I so admire you and the way you attack your life. I cannot comprehend what is like to have a disabled child like Toby (who by the way has such a loving family) and yet you seem able to attain so much. To not have finished a few delightful knitted animals is nothing but I know to you you feel beaten, sometimes you just have to go with the flow as you know. I can understand how your knitting is an outlet for you but for now enjoy the lead up to Christmas and the precious time with your family and revitalise yourself ready for the new year. Your little rabbit will go to a new home where she will be well loved.
