Mochimochi Friends

The Mochi of Oz

Even though it didn’t make it into the finals, Hippycritical’s Dorothy and her friends got lots of love in the semifinalist round of the photo contest.

What you probably didn’t know is that Hippycritical (aka Aimee) made a whole mochi-fied cast of characters from The Wizard of Oz!

Tiny Wreath Needs a Smaller Door

tinywreath_door

Just how did this ridiculously tiny Tiny Wreath come to be?

A knitter allergic to holiday greens
Wanted a wreath for her door.
She started to knit like a knitting machine,
Sitting while knitting some more.
But when it was finished
Excitement diminished
As she went berserk as she looked at her work:
Instead of using a proper-size yarn
She had knitted with finger-weight yarn!
This wreath, on her door, could barely be seen!
So in frustration,
In pure desperation,
She decided to knit a nativity scene.

That awesome Tiny Wreath poem is by Lydia! For her very merry caption, she wins this adorable holiday tape measure from Tomo and Timo!

Halloweeny Bunnies

Check out these fun Halloween-themed TIny Baby Bunnies that Joolieknits came up with!

She made the vampire bunny, ghost bunny, pumpkin bunnies, and candy corn bunny as part of the Tiny Bunnies Movement. That means she’ll be hiding them for some lucky strangers to find!

You can see what the Tiny Bunnies Movement is all about in their Ravelry group, and get my free pattern for Tiny Baby Bunnies here.

And don’t forget that the Mochimochi Photo Contest is officially open! Fun mods like Joolieknits’ bunnies are perfect for it.
