Luvgun Is Here!
Aug 12th
At last, the pattern for Luvgun has been added to the Mochimochi Shop!
This much-anticipated pattern features a hollow barrel that can be loaded with three little knitted hearts.
He’s a modern-day cupid who aims to bring love to everyone in his sight!
Rainycloud in Craft Magazine!
Aug 9th
I am so pleased to announce that Rainycloud has hit the big time, appearing in full-color print in the current issue of Craft magazine! He’s featured in their Curio section, alongside some other amazing craft projects.
A big thank-you to everyone at Craft!
Sad Rain, Happy Rain
Aug 8th
As we all know, rain can be gentle and nourishing, or nasty and mean, as New Yorkers with a shut-down subway system experienced today. Hanna of Bitter Sweet used this theme to knit up a couple of fabulously expressive Rainyclouds!
Her “bad” rain:
And her “good” rain:
I am so impressed by these!
Hannah is quite the designer herself— check out her great (and free!) knit and crochet patterns. They’re mostly food-related, and totally adorable.
Yuck!
Aug 7th
Any idea what’s living under your fingernails?
This is the first “human” bit that I’ve ever knitted, and I think it came out fairly well. At least well enough to be mildly revolting.
What’s lurking below the nail will be revealed a little later.
DOMA
Aug 6th
DOMA is an Argentenian art collective after my own heart. Their toy series Acid Sweeties, released earlier this year through Kidrobot, is exactly what I would make if I made plastic collectable toys.
Here are some of my gotta-have-em’s from the series:
Sicky Barrel
Elegido
Mr Earth
Frog Guy
The toys are $7.95 for a blind box (you don’t know which you’re getting), so I recommend buying at least two at a time to avoid disappointment. (There’s always one or two in any series that you don’t really want.) But this is an overwhelmingly great collection—I almost wish it didn’t exist so that I could come up with all of them myself. Oh well.
If you happen to be in the Berlin area, check out DOMA’s work at Planet Prozess, which runs though August 19.
