OCT 2013 UPDATE: A fabulous day thanks to everyone who contributed. 1.9 miles were measured with £8,917.16 raised for Alzheimer’s. BRAVO! HOORAH!

Knitting challenge was OPEN in the UK until late Sept early October 2013.
Easy quick knits for a very important and worthwhile cause. Do you fancy getting involved with raising money and being part of a UK Guinness Book of Records attempt?

The Wellgreen Craft & Create group will be knitting mice (pattern on request) this year to hopefully make A Mile Of Mice. They will need as many people as possible to knit the mice (we need 7,600 approx) and of course people to sponsor the knitters.

I started this challenge for my Dad… I plan to make a metre and half of mice (i.e. 7 x 9” mice)

Sadly both my parents ended up with Alzheimer’s and Lewy Body. They are now, both at peace, in Heaven.

First metre and half of mice (7 x 9” long mice) completed 10th July 2013 There’s a Princess mouse and a Jubilee mouse, too.

30.07.13 I finally got a chance to complete my rainbow mice today. (Though the yellow one looks slightly peachy in the photo!)
Some friends have also made a few mice. Now I’ve just got to post them off with a donation.
