Knitted mouse and cute cat pics

A while ago I made my aunty's new kitten  Mickey a multicoloured toy mouse and she seems to enjoy playing with it more than the bought toys she has.
She also loves to 'help' me knit.

Free pattern-pop tart bracelet

Nyan!
Another one of my strange obsession is with the pop tart bodied animal, Nyan cat!
 
After recently making a nyan cat bow from http://www.nyanpon.com I wanted to make something to go with it, that's where the pop tart bracelet comes in.
What you need:
beige yarn
pink yarn
any color you want for the sprinkles
crochet hook
tapestry needle

Pattern: 
with pink chain 6, stitch in second chain from hook and stitch across.
*Chain 1, stitch across* 
continue until it is long enough to fit round your wrist, don't brake yarn yet.
Attach the beige yarn and stitch around the edge of your bracelet
Sew on sprinkles in any color you like.
Sew the ends together and your done!
Why not make some in all different colors and sizes?
(Please don't sell this pattern or the items made from it)

Project in progress- Silver the hedgehog cross stitch

I love video games and Sonic the hedgehog is no exception. What better project for an obsessed sonic fan than a cross stitch of their favorite character? Even though Silver came from possibly the worst sonic game ever I still think he's an awesome character. He's also loads of fun to stitch  (even though his spines took ages!)
To make the pattern I saved an image of Silver and put it into pic2pat.com (a really cool website where you can turn any picture into a cross stitch pattern) and the chart was generated. I'm trying to get this finished by the end of the summer holiday but it took me a week and a half just to do this (I could of done more if my cat would stop trying to eat the material.)

welcome and new logo (old)

Welcome to my craft blog! I'm quite existed since this is my first blog and I'll try to post around 2-3 times a week. This is the logo for my blog, the weasel being based off the one of the characters from the Welkin Weasel series (one of my favorite books). I love getting feedback so if you have anything to say about my crafts please let me know. That's all for now, but I'll post again soon.
keep blogging,
-The craft weasel
