Tiny Gnome at the Beach
Jul 14th
I love this photo that Ravelry user Slohman took of Tiny Gnome on vacation!
Isn’t it fun how a simple color alteration can give this guy a new outfit (or no outfit at all, in the case of the dancing naked gnomes)? I wonder what else Tiny Gnome can do with the right threads…
If you’re looking for it, the Tiny Gnome pattern is available in the Mochimochi Shop, and it will also be included in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, coming out next month!
By the way, thank you for all the super sweet birthday wishes yesterday! 30 is off to a good start!
Musical Pigs
Jun 30th
No, it’s not a new parlor game (although maybe it should be)—musical pigs are knitter WittieKnittie’s take on Pigs with Wigs!
WittieKnittie has some music-loving friends, and so she made Bach the Pig for one of them…
A Shostakovitch Pig for another friend…
And for a friend who was going away to study at a music conservatory, Mozart the Pig!
Not only are these musical pigs super cute, but they’re also really small! WittieKnittie used Knit Picks Palette yarn to make them, so they’re palm-sized pigs.
If you’ve done a fun mod on a Mochimochi pattern, please add it to the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group! It will appear on the gallery page, and it will automatically be entered in our next photo contest.
Tiny Baby Bunnies Tea Cozy
Jun 7th
I was so excited when I spotted this tea cozy made by Katielewth on Ravelry!
There is no way that you could turn down a cup of tea from this adorable thing. Katie modified my Tiny Baby Bunnies pattern to make them even tinier, and she shares her patterns for the other elements in the design on her Ravelry project page.
I adore her use of the tea cozy as landscape. The possibilities must be endless!
Puttin’ on the Knits
Jun 2nd
I am delighted to see that some people took my tiny ring tutorial and ran with it!
Laliebugs made a cute Tiny Gnome ring like mine.
Here’s another piece of gnome-glam made by MagFly.
And Sheila made this adorable Tiny Zombie ring, complete with a mini SKEIN that he’s about to devour!
If you make a Tiny Thing into a ring or other cool wearable, please share a your pics in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group!
Baby Gator Mobile
May 3rd
Look what a lucky baby in Australia gets to gaze up at!
Circling crocodiles might sound scary, but this is just super cute. Schmendy, who dreamed up the gator mobile, has plans to add a Gargle giraffe at the center later.
The Baby Gators pattern is from my book Knitting Mochimochi, and it’s also available for free on my blog!
