(the above is my best shot at a drumroll)

it’s monday.

and it is time to reveal the little mouse’s new name.

it was hard choosing.

i could surely have found just the right name for a fleet of knit animals.

you are so very creative!

ready?

the winner is

(rat-a-tat-tat-tat)

!!! karendidit !!!

for the name ‘moses’.

i am drawn to names with a history

and i love the idea that karen mentioned in her comment,

“he was the small instrument that set a nation free”.

that’s just too cool.

so in a day or two little moses will head off to get his picture taken.

then the pattern will be test knit, and finalized,

and made available to all

through taddiebeeknitting

whose lovely luxury upcycled yarns

kicked this whole thing into motion in the first place.

‘moses’ taken from 3:3 exodus.
