OMG I have woken up and gone to heaven !
What a treasure trove of delight! I had to go and lie down after my first glance at the thread - it was just all too much for me.
I don't know where to start - the giphs all make me smile but the creations by Suami are just incredible and I adore that little goat - his soul just shines out.
Then there's these delicate white mice that almost don't seem knitted at all they are so fine with amazing attention to detail - like the feet turning in or lashes on the eyes. Obviously the type of wool you use makes a great difference - it looks like some of the mice are made from angora.
As for the snake eating the mouse Dee - I have to say that darkened my mood like a sudden clap of thunder.
I think there should be another frame with the mouse coming out of the other end - it's the only decent way to finish the story; the mouse will of course be all right; the way people are when they've been swallowed by wolves in fairy stories.
Whilst paying attention to Dee teaching songs in a church hall I found myself staring at a poster entitled "Knitted Bible" - apparently knitted bible figures are used to tell bible stories and one of our number attended this event and said it was most enjoyable. Knitted cribs are quite common I suppose, so it makes sense to use figures in this way - although I do wonder whether it would work for the story of Salome and John the Baptist!
I just find this so endearing!
Oh what JOY.

Mz DF, I will hope for the gift of time for you this holiday season, so that you may start filling this thread with your own tiny knitted wondersDawnFae wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 1:01 pmHAHA! Thank you guys for starting this beautiful thread!
I wanted to do it for a long time but didn't dare
I wanted to start activities in this "field" but got so much work that I haven't knit any socks this year. Can you imagine?
I will think about it and come up with a plan to do it or at least experiment with it. I love knitting and I love miniatures so we'll see.
The little mice you've added are TOO MUCH. So delicate! I love them.-
