What happens when you shove one too many frozen waffles into your rickety old toaster? You’ll end up with a big burned mess! Then once the smoke clears, you may find yourself confronted by…
Toaster Ghost!
It’s the next preview from my upcoming book of monster knits, Super-Scary Mochimochi! (And that awesome photo is by Brandi Simons, of course!)
I have a special love for anthropomorphic knitted appliances, so I made sure to find a way to fit an undead one among the creepy characters in this book. Toaster Ghost is an interactive toy, complete with slots that you can place burned pieces of toast in!
The pattern uses a number of techniques to get just the right shaping, and I think it’s a fun, challenging project for intermediate knitters.
Toaster Ghost would make a lovely companion piece to TV Guy from Knitting Mochimochi or even Flushie! Now I just need to design a knitted refrigerator, and you’ll never have to leave your craft room…
Super-Scary Mochimochi is now available for pre-order from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Starting September 18th, it will be in local yarn stores throughout the US, and signed copies will be available from the Mochimochi Shop too.
One more Super-Scary preview is coming up in a couple weeks, so stay tuned!
OH. MY. GOSH. TO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are no words to describe this… :)
The cute, it burns!!! I should be listening to the daily meeting but I’m too busy ordering.
I love that. I would give mine an evil malicious grin. And googly eyes, because everything is awesome with googly eyes.
You HAVE to make more of these! its Not negotiable
I love it!
As if I needed another reason to buy this book. :)
That is so cute! The idea of a toaster ghost is so creative!
So excited! I’m waiting for my pre-order to ship!
I love this, so awesome!! Great work again. :D
Toaster ghost would be the perfect use of red eyes!
I love the idea of red eyes, Patti! I don’t know why, but I seem to be smitten with basic black. But I hope to see red on yours!
Why are there disruptions of the shadow in the second picture like someone has used a brush in Photoshop to remove sections of the shadow?
HAHAHA! That’s is too funny!
Oh he’s so cute. I may need to knit 10 or 12 of them. And many varieties of burned toast. :-)
I can not wait to knit some monsters out of the book!!
That is so cute! I have to get that book! :-)
Oh my goodness this is absolutely adorable. You continue to impress me with your vision and great imagination. Can’t wait to see the whole book!
