The Tinys are here! The Tinys are here!
Jan 18th
Yes, the much-anticipated patterns for Tiny Things are finally in the Mochimochi Shop!
This first collection includes patterns for a Tiny Elephant, Tiny Corn, Tiny Violin, and Tiny Toothpaste. Got some sock yarn scraps lying around from former projects? You don’t need much to make these guys! Or, if you’re not so miniature-inclined, these patterns will work with heavier-weight yarn too.
Techniques include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, I-cord, picking up stitches, and simple color knitting.
Buy the PDF collection of patterns for $5 here!
Tiny Fire Hydrant
Jan 15th
He’s just glad there aren’t any tiny dogs sniffing around. (Yet!)
This was a second attempt at a Tiny Fire Hydrant, and I was glad to get it right this time! Sara suggested it back in July, so she gets a free pattern.
Cats + Laundry = Good Times

John and I are working on getting TWO new patterns added to the shop right now! In the meantime, here are a couple of laundry-themed cat photos for your enjoyment.
Awesomely Strange Botan Rice Candy Sticker
Jan 12th
A couple months ago I picked up a box of Botan Rice Candy. It did not disappoint in the sticker department!
It appears to be a bunny selling ice cream behind a counter. I get that the pink thing on its head is part of the (red?) uniform of an ice cream seller, but what’s the white thing under it—bangs? The fluffy tail of another, smaller bunny hiding under the ice cream seller bunny’s hat?
Botan Rice Candy stickers always seem to raise more questions than they answer.
Square Trees

Sometimes I just can’t get enough rounded corners.
This little Illustrator doodle came out of brainstorming ideas for a new website design. Maybe we’ll see them again sometime!
