Stackable Bear, Cat, and Panda

Jan 12th

Check out these stackable animals made by Claudine!

She used felt and some alterations to the ears and tails to make a stackable bear and stackable panda in addition to her Stackable Cat. A great idea!

I’ve had things stackable on my mind again lately too, so there may be a new pattern of this sort sometime later this year.

This is a fun multiplayer game that John and I have been playing lately.

Your partner will love the scatological humor and you will love the adorable deer. (Or vice versa.) You will both love fighting the bad guys together. I recommend it!

It’s a $15 download for the Xbox 360.

I got a fun holiday surprise from Joan recently: a package of goodies with her AnthroPoMorphCo characters on them, including these cute “holly jollies” stitch markers!

I’ve been using them nonstop since I got them. Joan also sent stationery, buttons, and more, all adorned with her own clever character designs. I’m so impressed by her ingenuity!

Check out her Etsy shop to get some of your own anthropomorphic vegetables, drink condiments, and more.

Thinking about what you’ll be knitting in 2009? Why not start with a super-fun pattern that will love you back?

Looper loves to curl, cuddle, hang and hug with an adjustable loop tail!

Techniques for this quick knit include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles and mattress stitch. Directions for splitting the tail in two and rejoining to form a loop are included in the pattern.

The pattern for Looper has been available in printed form at Loops, a fabulous knitting store in Tulsa, and now you can get it as a PDF download for $5 in the Mochimochi Shop.
