Win a Christmas Mouse knitting pattern

The house was all ready, waiting for Santa,
With cookies and candies all over the Mantel .

The.. snow is falling gently creating a puffy blanket,
When a little mouse peeks through causing quite a racket.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The cheerful chum donned his red sweater so soft
And while waiting for Santa, dozed off in his loft.

The mouse with red jumper was sitting watching the fire aglow.
For Santa to bring him matching socks for his toes.

The tui bird was tapping at the window in the kowhai tree singing a song to celebrate the summer and Christmas, with the yellow kowhai falling

The dogs were all nestled, snug in our bed, visions of Christmas trouble dancing in their heads 🙂

Knitting needles were silent all the socks had been knit.

The mince pies are waiting,
The stockings are hung,
Can you guess who is coming?
To see everyone.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The…stocking s were hung all knitted by gran keeping her busy in 2020 lockdown .
She’ s runout of patterns and would love some more, so here’s hoping that she been a very good girl

The silly little mouse was actually waiting to make sure everyone else was asleep to get into the cookies! Please don’t tell!

The knitters were knitting as fast as could be
To make little mouse folk to put under the tree

The cold filtered in through the big ancient windows
And the mouse feeling chilly cried ‘shiver me whiskers’.

The gifts were placed by the tree all bright, Next to the face masks all clean and bright.

There were sounds of soft snoring throughout the house.
The tray with the cookies and milk had been set.
Awaiting the most important visitor that had not reached this destination yet.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

The toys were all finished, to bring us good cheer
Claire’s patterns all knitted, for joy through the year.

Absolutely adorable! What else can one say?

The…
knitting needles are resting and the eggnog is flowing.
In hopes that St. Nick will bring bags of yarn though it’s snowing.

The ragdoll and ted bear were sitting so still, waiting for Santa, ignoring the chill of jack frost on the sill.

children were sleeping, the grown ups too. Who will be visiting? is it you?

The Christmas tree stood proud and tall,
Just waiting for Santa to call.

While momma mouse was busy,with baby number three
Waiting for Santa to arrive by the tree all sparkly to see

The mouse was tucked up all snug in his house dreaming of sugarplums that were dancing in his little furry head.

The family was all safe and staying at home . Merry Christmas to all and wear your masks!

Her needles were placed in their case with care,
But dammit, the yarn has rolled under the chair.

the sockes were all hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The doggies however were waiting for bed
Till Santa would enter and they would be fed

The only sound come from outside. Knispering snow…. footsteps. A midnight visitor? The bell rings….

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

The embers were glowing, the pets were all snug,

And even the reindeers were tucked up in a rug

The wind began howling, the snow swirled around, tonight Santa was coming & joy did abound.

The mouse was dreaming of Christmas to come,
No face masks or virus just good festive fun

The masks were all hung by the front door with care, in case St. Nicholas came within 6’ of there! 😂 😷

The masks were all hung up the toilet rolls stocked. The plunger was ready incase the toilet got blocked.
The children were nestled all snug in their bed, no worries of covid were left in their heads.
And mum with hand gel and dad with his wipes, protected their children from coughs, colds and strife.s.
When in through the letter box amazons letter, to say that they’d called, was somethings the matter,
A cough and a sneeze, caused friends great distress, thermometers ready in their Christmassy dress.
So out came the brandy, whisky, mulled wine, to find the next morning that they were all fine.
Would santa still visit or would he not come, in so many houses infection could run
The turkey was cooking and so was the beef, and santa clause came, to the children’s relief, for under the Christmas tree with tinsel and bells a pile of new face masks, wipes and hand gels,.
And nanna still visited, her stick and her zimmer,
to join in the fun and eat Christmas Dinner.

Restrictions were eased for only 5 days,to allow 3 homes fun after traffic delays

So we followed the rules right Down to the letter, in the hope next year might be somewhat better.

So cheer on the hero’s, th e doctors an nurses, th e workers the carers and voluntary workers.
Give them a big pay rise don’t let poverty strike.
Wish them Merry Christ ma’s whilst they work Christmas night.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…..

Tiptoeing down the stairs , as quietly as can be –
it was the perfect time to knit something for me!

Stockings where hung with goodies inside
and the Mice where all resting by the fireside

The big cat was sleeping by the fireplace without a care, With the hope that a mouse would soon be there.

No mousey was there for no pattern had I,
So I’m hoping to win one to knit by and by.

Sweet animals gather and whisper with glee
to hear Santa’s HO HO HO as his sleigh flies over magical snow covered trees…

Then needles were clicking and wool was unwound
A pattern was forming from hands all around
They knit and they knit ’til the night before
Then Santa was here and they knit no more.

…The knitting needles were humming,
All the masked mice grinning with good cheer!

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
The mouse was all knitted and stuck in a stocking
To wait for the morning and see who came knocking

The cat was glaring from his comfy post,
the dog was running in his dream.
The others were sleeping after counting their sheep,
Waiting for Santa without uttering a peep.

The stars that shone bright in a blue velvet sky kept watch on the earth and the inhabitants as they lie…
Snug in their beds, dens, houses, or nests to see if this Christmas might just surpass the rest…

With an abundance of love, joy, well wishes and good cheer that would last longer than this day, this month, or perhaps even this entire year.

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
The mousie was napping
So cozy and carefree,
All baking and knitting were finished, you see.

The children were dreaming of good things to come
Of present, of cookies and kisses from mom

the place is all calm
and the fire is toastie and warm

The children were sleeping and dreaming their dreams,
Of candy cane mountains and snow topped ice cream……..xx

T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

Canada to UK, a distance 6 metre much greater
and Santa’s arrival is 8 hours later

The mousie was shivering slightly with cold
And hoped for a jumper – a new one for old.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Hand-made decorations were hung all around
as snow fell so softly, making no sound.’

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The best gift of all was one of Claire’s creatures
Knitted with love, and the loveliest features

The Covid virus was rampant and no one had cheer,
When with a jingle and a Ho Ho Ho Santa did his magic again this year.

the mouse was suddenly woken up by a rustle and a beam of light. from his hole he saw Santa standing in front of the fireplace with a bag of presents which he then arranged nicely under the beautiful large Christmas tree.

the mouse was kept awake as he was thinking about how to make so many poor people happy with gifts. he woke up his family and quickly got down to work with them all making presents that they could get around their feet as quickly afterwards. They took refuge with a few people to see how the adults liked the presents and how happy they were with the beautiful gifts. as soon as they saw this they went back to their hole where they can celebrate a beautiful and satisfied Christmas together.

The knitter was knitting, faster than fast…
The gift she was knitting was last of the last!

The floorboards were creaking from pressure unseen
Then excited young children cried “Mum, Dad, he’s been!”

The embers burst into flame; flickering lights exposed a small curled up figure,
having made his claim.

The floor boards kept quiet ….
Then – 12 o’clock chimed and hundreds of elves rushed in
Oh What a riot!

The moon was shining , peace was all around, the cat, fox, and mouse were dancing at the crossroads.

The fire it crackled warming the room.
With a plate full of cookies to dispel the wintery gloom.

The little mouse fell asleep in one of Claire’s slippers. He’d never seen Santa before so this was his plan: Staying awake to ask Santa for a very special presant for Claire. Because she is such a loving person and makes a hole lot of people so very happy with her beautiful patterns.

The reason t’was silent is easy, you fool:
Every nook, crook and cranny was stuffed with knit wool.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
…The presents (all knitted!), were wrapped up so fair-
And waiting for morning; they’ll show how we care!

The mouse was too cosy, in its ball-of-wool bed
Its pillow of cotton, its jumper of red

The house so quiet you can 👀 the tree lights shining so Bright , from across the room, what does 🎅 see, a little gray Mouse wrapped up in his new red coat , his gift to this new mouse was yarn to make a new jacket or 2 !
