So, what do you do with the leftovers from your hat projects? If they’re made of wool that will felt, here’s an idea!  This cute little mouse is made from scrap yarn from the Valley Yarns Northhampton I had leftover from the hat project.  The pattern is here – Felted Mouse by Jo Chandler.  After it went thru the wash a couple of times (I also put it in the dryer both times), I needle felted some eyes on him from some brown roving I had here – although brown yarn would also work.  I tied Nymo beading thread “whiskers” on him, and put a little cord around his neck with a bow – that ought to last all of about 10 seconds in the paws of any skilled feline.  Makes for a cute presentation though.  Here’s the process pics.  First is pre-felting, second is the first trip thru the laundry, and the last is of course the final trip.
(I stuffed him with wool roving – but polyfill would also work.)

First trip thru laundry.
All finished up and waiting for delivery.
