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!
Elf Huddle
Dec 22nd
It has been decided that the best way to display cute holiday knits is to arrange them in a circle!
Miss Cookie has been knitting these darling guys as holiday gifts for her own special elves. The stripes she added make them extra festive, no? You can get the pattern in the shop on its own or as part of the new Holiday package!
I have a feeling I’m not the only one who will be staying up late knitting for the next couple of days. Let us know what YOU’RE frantically trying to finish in the comments!
A Spectrum of Santas
Dec 20th
I think we all agree that Bonnie’s winning photo from this year’s Mochimochi Photo Contest was a feat of craft, color, and photography. Here it is again in case you missed it:
Well, this talented knitter recently reprised her Snowman wreath as a spectrum of Santas!!
I might even be more in love with the Santa version! Lots of work went into making all these little guys, but the result is incredible. Here’s another shot.
Like the snowman wreath, if these festive dudes don’t get you in the Christmas spirit, nothing will!
Sweaty, Serengeti, Spaghetti…Tiny Yeti!
Dec 19th
You all made my morning very difficult with so many fantastic Tiny Yeti rhymes to choose from! Fortunately John helped out, and we decided on TWO winners of our Tiny Yet Rhyme-off.
Oh, no! said the tiny white yeti,
I awoke in the wide Serengeti!
The wildebeests here
Have nothing to fear
‘Cause I can’t make a move; I’m too sweaty!
That’s from Laura!
And our other winner:
The sweet tiny yeti
Feeling kind of petty
Went to his mother for aid.
No knitter was he
Though he wished he could be
For he was very, very afraid.
“White” he cried!
Is so easily dyed!
Which why I can only eat beans.
But out there he knew
Just out of his view
Was a world of exotic cuisines.
A plethora of berries
Big bright red cherries
All looked to be to his taste.
But the stains they’d impose
Upon his white clothes
Would leave him most disgraced.
The solution however
He felt was most clever
And for it his mother was key.
Just simple knit sweater
Would remove his fetters
He stood and solemnly decreed.
So she worked both day and night
Though she felt the sweater might
Leave her son quite sweaty.
But the tiny yeti felt
It was wonderfully svelte
For he was finally able to eat spaghetti!
That Tiny Yeti tale is by Mariette!
Oh, I just noticed that both of our winners used “sweaty” to rhyme with Yeti. I guess there’s something about a sweaty yeti that is adorable.
For their creative yeti stories and deft rhyming, Laura and Mariette each get a Tiny Santa Kit!
There were so many other superb rhymes in the comments—definitely worth reading if you’re a yeti fan!
