Tiny Popsicles are Budding Entrepreneurs

So what do a pair of twin popsicles talk about while they’re biding their time in the freezer? The world never knew… until now!

“We should have our own clothing line, like the Olsen twins.”
“But clear plastic is sooooo last season.”

That awesome caption was suggested by Heather, who wins a free pattern for Flapjack Frogs. Yay!

Many of you came up with super cute and funny captions—you can read them all in comments to this post.

Even Tiny Crab Needs SPF 45

So, what does Tiny Crab do when the temperature rises and he’s feeling hot and crabby?

Tiny crab is trying to pinch out the last bit of sunscreen. He’s starting to look like a lobster!

That cute caption comes from Les! Congrats, Les! That means you win a free PDF pattern for Rainycloud.

Naked Gnome Kick Line

You know what this week needed? A kick line of naked gnomes!

These guys are dancing with excitement because we’re all going to TNNA this weekend! I’ll be wandering around on Saturday and Sunday, and I’ll be doing a special preview book signing of Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi on Sunday at the Unicorn booth at 12:30 pm. This will be my first time to see the finished book! (Sadly, everyone else will have to wait until the official release date of August 17th.)

This is my first time at TNNA, and I can’t wait. I hope to see many of you retailers, wholesalers, and designers there!

Tiny Wizard can go Magically Low

OK, there was some seriously silly spell-making going on in the Tiny Wizard comments over the weekend! It was sooo hard to choose a winner this time. But after reading them through a couple of times, one super silly poem stood out to me:

Tiny Wizard used to be big
and not so very much nimble;

But he’s shrunk himself down
close to the ground
nearly the size of a thimble;

You would think that this guy
in a much bigger size
would love spells
that make people tremble;

But true to his heart
he uses his art
to make sure he beats Yoda at limbo!

That awesomely written epic was by Sarah! So Sarah wins the pattern for Hugs + Squoze. Yay, congrats!

I was going to list some honorable mentions, but there were just too many that I loved this time! So I encourage you to look back at all of the spells in the comments. It’s participation like this that makes me excited about knitting and blogging all over again. Thank you to all who contributed spells!

Some of you might be interested to see how Tiny Wizard looks beside his cousin Tiny Gnome. The family resemblance is definitely there.

(Tiny Gnome looks a little wary of that wand… But mostly I think he’s just jealous about the cape.)

Tiny Lemon is a Little Mixed Up

We had nearly 80 caption submissions for Tiny Lemon—sweet! Many of you had him trying to talk his way out of being made into lemonade in adorable ways. We decided that Tiny Lemon might have something else on his mind…

Tiny dyslexic lemon isn’t afraid of being squeezed, but don’t show him the melon baller!

That caption was from Michelle, who wins a free PDF pattern for Campy and the Mallows. Yay!

Thank you to everyone for the fun lemony captions!
