Beware of Hugs!
Feb 13th
OK, I just can’t resist sharing Hannah’s technicolor Hugs + Squoze that she just posted on Bittersweet!
Her accompanying post about the dangers of love is equally adorable, so I recommend you head over to her blog to read it. Then check out her recipe for adorable heart-shaped pomegranate pops.
Happy Valentine’s, everyone!
Tiny Monkey
Feb 12th
Hands off his mini banana!
Amber suggested that I make a Tiny Monkey way back in July, so she gets a free pattern. Thanks, Amber!
And a happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! I hope your weekend includes some kind of broadly-defined love.
Cuddle Fest!
Feb 11th
It was less than a week ago that I released the pattern for Hugs + Squoze, but already we have some cuddling cuties popping up on Ravelry!
Would you believe this Hugs + Squoze was butterfly’s first-ever knitted toy? I’m so impressed!
I also love this photo of them because Hugs looks just blissful and Squoze looks like he can’t wait to get outta there.
This bright red Hugs from WormHerder really pops!
And without his Squoze, he just looks a little grumpy—in a cute way, of course!
And once again, here is a terrific toy made by tester Oiyi. I think her Squoze is saying “ta-daa!”
Along with Oiyi, I have Marti, David, and Hannah to thank for their testing help for this pattern!
Stop-Motion for Typophiles
Feb 11th
I found this beautiful video for the Typophile Film Festival via pica + pixel a while back—it incorporates unusual materials and some great stop-motion.

Knitted Waves
Feb 10th
I’m excited to be working on a piece for an upcoming sea-themed show curated by Kristen Rask of Schmancy.
My dad used to have a sailboat, which he particularly liked to take out on gusty days. The whole rocking ordeal terrified me for the most part, so to this day I don’t feel a strong calling to jump on a boat. But I do love the romantic, summery image—especially on this snowy day in NY!
