Years ago I helped my grandmother clean the dust out of her china cabinet. In appreciation she gave me four teacups. Yesterday as I was dusting my own china cabinet I looked at those four teacups and thought of the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland. So now my china cabinet holds those four treasured teacups and a dormouse.

Love it -- thanks for the pattern :-) Mistake in Rnd16 though? Wouldn't that leave 6 stitches?
