JN Christmas Jingle Mouse

seb0357

Just finished this one for 2013 from Just Nan called Christmas Jingle Mouse. This was stitched on 32ct. Zweigart Ant. Almond Belfast linen.  He measures approx. 2" x 3 1/2".  I wasn't crazy about the dark linen, or the crystal beads, but that's what came in the kit. I think he needs a little more bling which I will add when I do another one. I will probably use 28ct linen on the next one, since this was my first project on 32ct. I can hardly see on 28ct.!  Well, here he is with his bronze tail this year.

He is absolutely adorable!  You did an excellent job although you are crazy for doing it on 32 count.  I could never go that tiny and my eyes are pretty good.  This is why I decided to do my dragon (only cause it is crazy huge 450 x 634) to go with 18 count the pattern called for 25 count but there is just no way I could do it.  You are brave!  My daughter wants one of these little mousey's but I think I got 22 or 24 count to do him on, oh well he will be a little bit bigger than he is supposed to be :)

Oooh, it's fabulous!  I use magnification glasses anymore to stitch and absolutely love the higher count linens.    I've done petit point on 40ct gauze when I was younger but have 35ct in my stash for that special something.   

I agree with your disappointment with the fabric colour.  I would have gone lighter!

That is so darn cute!. I love the teeny pointsettas, and the teensey little ears and nose. Wow, such tiny stitches!

I use one of those hands-free magnifiers that hang around my neck, really handy for crocheting with super fine thread and a tiny hook, maybe that would help. I can see to do my crocheting and get along fine without it, but using it just makes every little stitch show so clear and I can almost double my speed because I'm not fussing around trying to figure out where the next stitch belongs, makes a big difference!
