    Rachel, these are perfect! I’ve been making the same old mouse toys for a local pet shelter, and these patterns will spice things up nicely!

    My cat (Shadow) plays with the store bought versions of these, so I’m so excited that I can crochet them myself now!

    So far I made the mouse, spider and stringy ball and Shadow is going bananas over them! I can’t wait to make the rest of the toys.

    Hello

    I’m looking for some tiny weeny flowers to crochet and I thought I saw some patterns on here a long time ago.

    Please could someone tell me if I’m right or wrong in seeing these little flowers.

    Thanks
