Tiny Mushrooms Shouldn’t Quit their Day Job
Oct 24th
This weekend Tiny Mushrooms told Tiny Gnome that they had a song to sing for him!
We are edible,
and unforgettable,
though some are atrocious,
and very ferocious.
So pick us the plucky quad,
who are ripe, right from sod!
Translated from the shrooomese by Michelle! For her cute caption, she wins the Tiny Things Collection 3 patterns!
After the song was finished, Tiny Gnome only said that they were way out of tune. How rude!
Who Needs Soy Sauce?

Our Tiny Maki is not a snob when it comes to sushi condiments.
Tiny Maki is not just short and stocky,
but very yummy with teriyaki.
That little rhyme is by Cassi, who wins a Tiny Penguin Kit for her caption!
Thank you for all of your Tiny Maki captions! One more sushi bar Tiny coming later this week!
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.
Tiny Sushi has a Black Belt in Puns

Loved the caption contest entries this weekend! It was hard to choose a favorite, but I found this one irresistible…
Tiny Sushi to Tiny Edamame: Wasabi?
Tiny Edemame: Nato much, you?
That cute double-pun caption is from Bonnie!
I seriously considered knitting up some Tiny Edamame this morning just for this post, but that seemed a little crazy. However, I am thinking it would be awesome to do a collection of sushi bar tiny mochis, as some of you suggested, so edamame is next on my list for that!
For her caption, Bonnie gets the pattern for Flapjack Frogs!
And here are some other pun-tastic entries:

Give School a Hug
Sep 1st
Kristen Rask just sent me photos of my window display at her store!
Schmancy is a super-fun vinyl and plush toy store in downtown Seattle, and I was thrilled when Kristen asked me if I would make something for their window.
As I mentioned previously, I used the Petite Pencil pattern from Knitting Mochimochi in bulky yarn to make the pencils, and I love how they came out so huggable. The piece of paper was a bit of a challenge to design, and the hardest thing was coming up with what the paper would say. I got to thinking about how schools and teachers are dealing with increasingly tighter budgets and demands to do more with less, so I figured school could use a hug!
If you’re in Seattle, I hope you’ll swing by Schmancy in the next few weeks and see it in person.
A big thank-you to Kristen for inviting me to do this and for rigging up the display!
