    About

    Finding a pattern for Mickey was not as easy as I thought it would be but eventually I found one on the vintage pattern site on Etsy. It was originally printed in the 1960's and first thing I realised was how lucky we are with modern PDF pattern designers, with extensive instructions and clear images taken from all angles. This pattern had limited instruction and a few lines for the making up.
    But despite being a challenge I completed him and if I ever do another I would make his face a little more cute, overall I'm pleased with the result.

        Thanks Trish, I have to say Mickey gave me a few headaches, the same lady has asked me to knit her a Rupert Bear haven't started it yet but I'm hoping Rupert will be a bit kinder to me! 🤞

        Thanks Jackie, have to say there were a few tantrums with this one. I think Disney is over for a while but Rupert Bear is in the pipeline.

      Ohh he is so cute, you have made a fantastic job of him Christine. I agree with you about some vintage toy patterns, I brought a Peter rabbit one and was unable to do it.your customer will be thrilled with Mickey, wonder if they will want a Minnie mouse now.lol😊

        Thanks Michelle, I think the difficulty understanding patterns was the reason I gave up knitting on any major scale for years, I admit I need pictures.
        Yes the lady was happy, no more Disney but a very welcome Rupert Bear.
