He used to be friends with a chimp, until he realized that the chimp was just using him to get ants out of a tree.

Tiny Alien
He came to Earth for our sheep… which didn’t look quite so big from outer space. (He may have to settle for yarn scraps instead.)
tess b left a comment suggesting that I make a Tiny Alien in January, so she gets a free pattern!
Tiny Bunny
It’s Bunny Week in Mochimochi Land! You get a free Dust Bunnies PDF pattern with any purchase of $5 or more from the Mochimochi Shop through April 3rd. (A link to download the pattern will be emailed to you within 24 hours of your purchase.)
Of course I had to make a Tiny Bunny for Bunny Week!
He thinks this whole “Bunny Week” thing is a whole lot of nonsense.
Rachel suggested I make a Tiny Bunny (a “tiny disapproving bunny” to be precise!) last year, so she gets a free pattern!
Tiny Cow
She udderly despises puns.
Christy suggested that I make a Tiny Cow in the comments back in July last year, so she gets a free pattern!
Tiny Asparagus
This flirty fellow tries to pick up girl veggies with his “Kiss me, I’m an antioxidant” t-shirt (not pictured).
Tracy suggested I make an asparagus in the comments in January, so she gets a free pattern!
Not-so-tiny Elephant
Since seeing Oiyi’s fun-size versions of my Tiny Things Collection 1 patterns done in worsted yarn, I’ve been meaning to try out one of my Tiny patterns using bulky yarn to see just how much bigger the toy could get. I finally tried it, and it really worked!
I made this not-so-tiny orange elephant yesterday using Lamb’s Pride bulky yarn and size 6 needles. (The pattern is written for fingering-weight yarn and size 1 needles.) I didn’t have to do a single thing differently—the pattern scaled up perfectly! I love how toy patterns are so flexible in this way, don’t you?
Speaking of Tiny Elephants, my Tiny Elephant class is happening tomorrow (Sunday 3/7) at Brooklyn General! I’m really excited about it. If you’re in the area and are not taking the class, I hope you’ll swing by the store after noon, when I’ll be hanging out there with a bunch of knitted friends.
Tiny Caveman
He’s a pretty decent guy—just don’t let him sell you any car insurance.
It seems that nobody has suggested that I make a tiny caveman before, so this one is all me!
Tiny Telephone
This one won’t take messages, or look up a phone number, or find you directions. What does she look like, your secretary?
Many people have requested a Tiny Telephone in the comments, but Harper was the first to do so, back in July of last year. Free pattern coming your way, Harper!
