Heart Your Tree
Dec 21st
Here’s a last-minute holiday decoration/gift idea: Knit up some Hearts from my free pattern and add loops to make them into ornaments!
I’ve noticed on Ravelry that many people have been making heart ornaments this year. I especially love the project photos posted by blacksunl1ght:
And by iheartfiber:
Each heart takes less than an hour to knit, seam and hang! I would love to see a small tree decorated with pink and red hearts for some cross-holiday cheer.
Also don’t forget that the Mochimochi Snowmen pattern (also a great ornament knit) is available for free with any purchase at the Mochimochi Shop through December 26th!
Tiny Hot Dog
Dec 18th
This wee wiener wishes he was a whistle. Instead, he’s trying to learn to whistle himself. (But he’s not very good at it.)
Tango suggested that I make a Tiny Hot Dog back in July, so Tango gets a free pattern!
Hug-able Plushes Still Available
Dec 17th
There are still some plushes available from “Luv-able & Hug-able” at the gallery hanahou online shop! Since we’re starting to get down to the wire, gifting- and especially shipping-wise for the holidays, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorites that still need homes.
Sophie by Elisabeth Doherty (aka Gourmet Amigurumi):
Drakkart with Wave by Sandra Monat of herzensart:
Swimmers – Egg Plant by Hine Mizushima:
Telephone by Katie Park (aka Caffaknitted):
Mineton by Yuriko Sera:
And of course there are still some Tiny Things made by me and two of the Conversion Factories available.
The gallery and its online ordering will be closed December 24 – January 3rd.
Also, check out these little interviews with Katie Park, Keighty Paul (aka Keighty Crochet), and me on the CWC-i blog!
Months and Animals
Dec 15th
Here’s a little preview of the new cross-stitch design I’ve been working on lately…
Pattern coming next month!
Snowmen Bowling
Dec 14th
Paula posted this hilarious pic of her Mochimochi Snowmen on Ravelry the other day.
Snowmen Bowling! Sounds like a fun new holiday tradition to me.
Paula’s photo makes me wonder what other uses Snowmen can be put to… maybe we’ll see some more by Christmas?
