Tiny Swedish Chef
Jan 17th
Australian knitter Renee modified the Tiny Chef pattern to give him a Muppet-y flavor!
Amazing what a little carefully placed embroidery will do, right? I love it!

Tiny Fairy can Handle the Tooth
Jan 9th
Our Tiny Fairy may not convince everyone of her existence, but there’s at least one fairy job that she’s a pro at…
Periwinkle Sparkletoes
Fluttering on by your snoring nose
Hither and thether
Light as a feather
She sneaks a quick kiss on your cheek
And takes off with your teeth!
But don’t worry my good fellow
There’s money under your pillow!
Thank you to Amanda for that beautiful poem-caption!
For her way with words, Amanda wins this adorable tape measure from Tomo and Timo!
Another thank you to Tomo of Tomo and Timo for contributing the prize!

Winning caption by Amanda:

Hither and thether

And takes off with your teeth!
But don’t worry my good fellow
There’s money under your pillow!
A Tiny Fairy has it rough—most people don’t even believe in her! Maybe we can help boost this little lady’s self-esteem by giving her a caption that describes her unique fairy-ness.
Leave your Tiny Fairy caption in the comments to this post (one per person, please), and on Monday we’ll pick our favorite to win…
an adorable Hello Kitty tape measure from Tomo and Timo!
Thank you to Tomo of Tomo and Timo for contributing the prize again this time!
Hand Knit Tiny Mochis Now Available
Jan 5th
Just a quick note to say that I recently added some hand-knit tiny mochis to the shop! These are each knitted by me, so if you’re not a knitter, you can still have one of your own!
I haven’t done a lot of knitting-for-sale before, but I do love knitting so much that when I have extra time and no new designs on the needles, it’s nice to knit up a few of my personal favorites.
Quantities are limited, of course!
Gnomes and Snowmen (and me!) Headed for VK Live
Jan 4th
Vogue Knitting Live is coming to NYC again next weekend!! I’ll be there, and I’m even bringing a couple of armies with me…
You’ll be able to find me and my Gnomes vs Snowmen in the Art Gallery area of the Marketplace, which is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, January 14th and 15th (with a preview for VK Live attendees on the evening of the 13th). I’ll also have books and kits for sale there, including a super-secret new kit! You’ll have to stop by to find out what it is.
Aside from my own display, you’ll be able to find me at the Lion Brand booth at 6 pm on Friday, January 13th, where I’ll be doing a Q&A. Then on Sunday the 15th I’ll be doing a book signing at the Knitty City booth at 11 am.
I can’t wait to see lots of familiar faces and meet many more knitters too. Please stop by and say hi if you’ll be there!
