Fruity Knitting Interview
I was so pleased to be recently interviewed by Andrea Doig of Fruity Knitting. You can see me (with my pre-COVID haircut) talk about how Mochimochi Land came to be and share some highlights about specific projects and patterns.
If you’re checking out my website after seeing the interview, welcome!
Big thanks to Andrea and Andrew for the interview.
Tiny Unicorn Pattern Now Available from Knit Picks
Could you use a tiny unicorn right about now? 🦄✨
My tiny unicorn pattern is now available singly as a download for the first time, via Knit Picks!
Bluebird Knit-a-long
UPDATE: There’s now a pattern for Bluebirds of Crappiness! All proceeds from sales will go to Chicago-area food banks.
Do you have 45 minutes? Knit a little bluebird with me!
This is my first time making a KAL video. I hope it’s not too annoying to watch/listen to!
The pattern is coming soon 🎶
A Ducky Giveaway for Fowl Times
UPDATE: We got 145 ducky comments over on Instagram, yay! Winners have been posted and notified. Thanks to all who entered!
Hi everybody! I hope you’re hanging in there and finding some fun in the extended weirdness. Here’s a little fun especially for those of you who don’t knit: A Duck-a-Luck giveaway!
These ducks have been frozen in ice and thawed out three times over, and they’re still fresh as the day they were knit. (Why did I freeze them? To make them last longer during quarantine, of course!)
Now that they’re happy and dry, these ducks are ready to spread their wings. If you live in the US, you can enter to win one by leaving a comment on THIS INSTAGRAM POST with something duck-ish. (Also, please follow @mochimochiworld on Instagram!)
Plus, each of the winners will get to send out a funky little bluebird to a friend 💙
I’ll pick winners next week (April 20th).
And you can find the Duck-a-Luck pattern at three price levels in my shop, or find it on Ravelry!
Duck Cubes
If you’re like me, you’ve been stocking your freezer more than usual lately. Gotta make those ducks last!
🦆❤️ NO TINY KNITTED DUCKS WEE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO
👉 Storage tip: You can freeze knitted ducks several times over, and they will come out fresher than ever after they’re thoroughly thawed and dried.
Duck Hug
Happy Easter from these ducks, who have been quarantining together and would like to send you a virtual group hug!
Mochimochi Land is Here for You!
No one is having a normal time right now. For us, John and I are lucky enough to be able to focus on our kids most of the time and squeeze in a little work when we can while we’re sheltering in place in our Chicago home. So I’ll likely be spending a bit less time on social media (at least, less time on the creation end of things), and orders of physical goods may ship out a bit slower than usual. But my basement is my office/studio/shipping headquarters, so I don’t have to go far to take care of business when needed!
I’ll likely be sharing some classic cute and happy Mochimochi Land animations and patterns and things for a while instead of creating new content. And instead of working all night, I’m planning to read books and watch movies with my “me” time. Self care is paramount right now!
Stay safe, stay kind, and if your job allows it, please stay in right now! Our heart-knitting gnome won’t be taking a break. (You can share him and all my other happy GIFs via my GIPHY page.)
