Not the destructive type of mouse, that varmint type, that eat grain, sneak into your pantry and eat a hole in your Cheerios box ... but the type of mice as portrayed by Beatrix Potter and other whimsical artists.
Let your mind wander to sweet mice, funny mice, darling mice, like these
And even knitted mice!
This is a family of mice I knit from the book Knitted Cats and Kittens by Stratford. An odd choice for knit? Maybe. But I think that one or two peeking out from the brim of a hat might give a chuckle.
I do think mice are very nice.
