Announcing Butterfull!

Just two days left until spring is officially here, and Mochimochi Land is getting a head start with a brand-new pattern: Butterfull, the world’s fattest butterfly!

Butterfull knits up quickly, with techniques including i-cord, mattress stitch, and duplicate stitch. And nothing says “spring” like a bouquet of dead flowers, right?

Oooh, the dead flowers look soooo sad. I want to make them with wire through the i-cord and a happy face. And maybe wire through the edges of the petals took, so I can turn them into buds, and then flower them slowly!

The sweatband on Butterful is a crowning touch. He’s great!

I love your blog and your patterns. I watch what you do with awe. Unfortunately, I am really disappointed by this. Basically this pattern is saying, “You, fat butterfly, are disgusting. For god’s sake, go on a diet before you sit on something else and kill it.”

As someone in recovery from bulimia. I am trying to fight the messages society gives us every day that fat (any amount of it) is disgusting. I am so sad to see this here.

I love the butterfull! The adorable little feet, the eager exerciser goes forth!

I agree with Faith – I think it’s sending a bad message. The big butterfly would have been cute on its own.

Faith and Allison: I don’t think she meant anything negative by it. :\

It reminds me of Simon Pegg in “Run, Fat Boy, Run”.
