Camille Claims the Cat Mats

The day before we shipped them to Camille, Veto demonstrated the proper use of mats:
The burnt-sienna mat is Lion Brand Homespun, in the color Mission. I'll double-check on the natural; my list says Candide Aran, but I usually hoard Candide! It may be an acrylic "Aran" color.

Here's the prototype,
in Homespun
(color Waterfall).

I got the herringbone pattern from a Knitters magazine, I think (on a cardigan) and worked it
horizontally, probably until the skein was used up :> Camille's Aran mat
was done vertically, just for a change of pace.
The Herd (my cats) aren't always as well-behaved as Veto in the above shots....
I swear this is how I found the mats the next morning.
Nipmice
Stuffed with cotton batting and catnip, and sometimes a jingle bell. Or wax paper.
The letters on the dark green mouse say "D'Ni" (pronounced Dunny). D'Ni is a former feral who's now a happy inside-only cat. She's shy, so she doesn't come out for events involving a camera. But that's her mouse.
