Tiny Edamame Have Seen Better Days
Sep 12th
So what’s it like to be Tiny Edamame?
Once they’re boiled they’re no longer soya beans, but has beans.
That cute caption was from Emma, who wins a free pattern for Ninjabun!
We got quite a few other funny captions over the weekend, plus great suggestions for other tiny sushi. Thanks everyone! I’ll try to serve up another sushi-themed tiny mochi later this week.
Lion Brand Yarn Studio Interview
Sep 12th
I had such a great time at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio last Thursday! They invited me to give an artist talk (coinciding with my installation) and do a book signing, and although I was nervous to speak in front of 50 people, I think it went well. It’s always a joy to meet knitters and share my crazy take on the craft with them, and I take so much energy back with me from these encounters. (Of course it was wonderful to see some familiar faces there too!)
For those who couldn’t make it out to the talk, here’s an interview that we taped beforehand:
Patty Lyons and all of the staff at the LBYS gave me the warmest welcome, and I even got to hang out with them after the event. It was probably the most lively conversation I’ve ever had with a group of knitters! They are a riot.
Big thank-yous to everyone at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio, and to everybody who came on Thursday!
Tiny Edamame

Winning caption by Emma:
Once they’re boiled they’re no longer soya beans, but has beans.
What do you think it’s like to be tiny boiled soybeans? Leave your caption in the comments, and we’ll pick the one that makes us giggle the most on Monday. The winner gets a free pattern for Ninjabun!
Also: what should be next in the sushi bar set? I’m thinking it has to have some kind of roll, and then maybe another type of nigiri sushi?
Mochimochi at NYC Maker Faire Sept 17
Sep 8th
I’m happy to announce that I’ll again be at the NYC Maker Faire next weekend in Queens! You’ll be able to find me in the library of the Museum of Science on Saturday, Sept 17th—I’m bringing my Teeny-Tiny diorama and I’ll have my new book there too. I’ll also be doing a toy knitting demo at the CRAFT stage at 1 pm on the 17th.
If you haven’t experienced a Maker Faire before, it’s a celebration of creativity that is lots of fun for all ages. Hope to see you there next Saturday!
Rainbow Rainycloud Mobile
Sep 7th
How lovely is this Rainycloud mobile that the sisters of Green Eyed Monster made for a kids’ room?
I love how the simple shapes sans eyes and bright colors make for a clean and happy piece. You can see more pretty pics of it on the Green Eyed Monster blog.
As always, if you’ve made something fun from a Mochimochi pattern, please add it to the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group! It will appear on the gallery page, and it will automatically be entered in our next photo contest.
