Knitted Lab Rat

This make definitely has the power to divide opinions! Mostly poeple think im nuts and its a bit gross but i think its actually pretty cute! Its a another combination of crafting and science - my two loves. Anyway I bought this pattern for a knitted lab rat by Crafty Hedgehog ages ago and i finally got round to making it


I think he's pretty cute but i understand that he's not to everyones tastes!

I framed him in a box frame and added his latin name to give it a taxidermy touch. He currently hangs in the hall, lovely BM is growing to love him (i hope!)
