New X-Stitch pattern: Merry Meadow
May 4th
Can you believe it’s May already? It’s about time I put this new springtime cross-stitch pattern in the Mochimochi Shop!
I mostly worked on this pattern back in January, when springtime was just a pleasant dream, so I’m excited to finally release it! I think everyone can use some cute flowers and a little chaos and destruction for their wall.
The pattern, comprised of charts with symbols for colors, is available as a PDF download for $7.
Plus! If you buy the pattern before the end of May, you can get a big discount on it through CRAFT—see the details on the offer on the CRAFT blog. Thanks, CRAFT!
Reversible Chicken and Egg Pattern in Craft!
Feb 15th
I’m very excited to announce that I have a new pattern in the current issue of Craft magazine!
For their Play issue (which hit newsstands about a week ago), it’s a reversible chicken and egg!
The pattern is super-easy, and the issue is packed with lots of other fun play-related projects.
Thank you to Arwen at Craft—she was awesome to work with on this!
OK, Just One More Heart Post

This takes the Valentine Cake!
Kitty from Singapore fashioned this gorgeous Valentine’s Tree out of knitted hearts (obviously) and scrapbooking materials.
She also had a similar idea as Be yesterday and whipped up some “Hearty Flowers” to dance around the base of the tree.
If this doesn’t win you over for this much-maligned holiday, nothing will!
Incredible Hearts
Feb 13th
This little heart, topped with crazy dreadlocks, may be my favorite heart yet!
Lynn made this adorable musician heart for her musical husband for Christmas. You can see her own knitting patterns, yarns, and more at her website, ColorJoy.
OK, I guess I have two favorites— check out this amazing heart-plant by Be:
That would make such a great Valentine’s gift, don’t you think?
Well, think I may finally be all hearted out. A big thank-you to everyone who shared their creations with us!
Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!
Hearts With Personality
Feb 12th
There are now officially too many fabulous hearts for me to post all my favorites—over 200 projects on Ravelry!
This little one from Mary is too silly to resist:
And on a somewhat different note, rebel crafter Jessica gave her heart a more sinister twist:
I guess it says “you’re delicious” to that special someone.
