Congrats to Joan for her winning caption!
Tiny Band-aid will start his journey of healing with Yarn Joins, hopefully moving up to the big leagues of scraped knees, and then the World.
Tiny Band-aid wants to heal the world. One thing at a time, though—what’s he going to heal first?
Leave your caption in the comments, and we’ll choose our favorite on Monday. The winner this time will get a free PDF pattern for Sleepy Snake & Mischievous Mouse!
It’s been too long since I’ve shared a cat photo. Here is a rare glimpse of Soupy being a big slouch.
When browsing the gallery this morning, I spotted these Tiny Pandas pretending to be Easter eggs by goitaly!
Why pandas for Easter? Why not!
Now that Easter has ended and most of the candy has been ravaged, let’s find out what our very serious trio of Jelly Beans have been thinking about…
To bean, or not to bean, that is the question.
That deep jelly bean thought was suggested by Lizzy, the winner of this week’s caption contest! Lizzy wins the spring PDF pattern collection of Ninjabun, Rainycloud, and Which Came First.
Congrats to Lizzy and thank you to everyone who participated!
Thank you for all the great Tiny Jelly Bean captions! We’ll choose a winner later today, so if you haven’t left yours yet, there’s still time.
Yesterday’s big Easter candy event for me was the unwrapping of this jumbo Kinder Egg that I had saved from my trip to Berlin. Look how big it is!
If you’re not familiar with Kinder Eggs, they are delightful hollow chocolate eggs that are available in a many countries. But they aren’t sold in the US because they contain a toy inside that often is made of many tiny pieces to assemble. It’s the complex toys, often with moving parts, that make Kinder Eggs so cool.
But not all Kinder Eggs are created equal! The ones from Germany are definitely made of the best chocolate and contain the coolest toys. I had never seen one so big, so I was excited to bring this one back from my trip. Now let’s see what’s inside!
It’s a really big capsule egg! Somehow I didn’t expect it to be this big.
And inside… many little parts! That’s always a good sign.
I love how clear the assembly instructions always are.
And here is the assembled toy. The rubber band at the bottom that lets you wind up Mr. Froggie so he can boat around in the sink.
My husband tried it and it works! The chocolate was delicious too.

Happy Earth Day, everyone! I tried to come up with something earthy for today’s Tiny Thing, but I’ve already knitted a Tiny Seedling, a Tiny Tree and Shrub, and a Tiny Earth. So here are some jelly beans instead!
Jelly beans are perhaps the least seriously taken food, and these guys are out to prove the world wrong! What serious thoughts do their sticky sugary Easter-y exteriors belie? Leave your caption in the comments and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday!
The winner this time will get a special springtime pattern package: Ninjabun, Rainycloud, and Which Came First!
I’m having a bit of knitter’s block this morning, and so today’s tiny thing is a bit delayed. (Suggestions are welcome!) In the meantime, check out this amazing nest of Tiny Baby Bunnies that Mochimochi friend Sheila made this week.
I can’t get over this cuteness! The fun fur grass is an excellent touch too. Somebody is going to have a very happy Easter, I suspect.
Make your own baby bunnies with the free pattern!
Since I posted the free pattern on Monday, Tiny Baby Bunnies have been multiplying like you-know-whats! 53 projects have been posted on Ravelry so far, and I have a feeling that number will jump before Easter. Here are just a few that caught my eye…
Ruskin’s bunnies had a romp in the flowers!
Spbuckler added some mini embellishments for a dolled-up bunny.
m3clarity’s brown worsted bunny has an appetite for candy…
And Coffee & Cream made a mama bunny to go with her baby bunnies by using DK yarn.
