Tiny Mermaid has Standards
Aug 29th
Life in the sea might be fine for Tiny Mermaid, but let’s show some cultural sensitivity, shall we?
No, she does NOT want to go out for sushi, thank you very much.
That caption comes from Carrie, who wins a PDF pattern for Puppet Love. Congrats, Carrie!
As I mentioned on Friday, the Tiny Mermaid pattern is in my new book, Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi. So that means new mermaids are starting to appear everywhere! Like this lovely aquatastic mer-lady by Berry Market:
And Sheila gave hers some major mermaid locks:
Share your knits made from Mochimochi patterns in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group. They’ll be automatically entered in our next photo contest!
I’m just relieved that we haven’t all become Tiny Mermaids after the hurricane!
Tiny Record Player Gets Groovy
Aug 24th
It’s so exciting to see the first knits from Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi popping up on Ravelry and Flickr! Here’s an adorable version of Tiny Record Player that Patelyne shared in the Mochimochi Friends group on Flickr.
I love all the little touches that make the scene—lime green shag carpet, record sleeve… So cute!
If you’ve made something fun from 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.
Speaking of which, we need to get that contest scheduled and start figuring out prizes! Suggestions are welcome.
Meet the Bean-tles
Aug 10th
These Human Beans have formed a Beatles cover band!
Knitter Stripeymonkey collaborated with her daughters to make this adorable “Fab Four” knitting mod and diorama for the girls’ music teacher.
I’ve heard that their big hits include: “Eight Beans a Week,” “Yellow Submarbeans,” and “Ob-La-Bean, Ob-La-Da.”
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.
Oh, and the pattern for Human Beans can be found in my book Knitting Mochimochi!
Flush with Flushies
Aug 3rd
As you might be able to tell from looking at him, Flushie is a pattern for daring knitters who are not afraid of multiple pieces!
I was fortunate enough to have three such knitters help test knit Flushie—their input was invaluable for such a complex project. And they all sent me such adorable photos of their finished Flushies!
Beforesunrise’s Half-Flush settled right in with Grouchy Couch.
I bet their conversations always end up in an argument over which is the best room, the living room or the bathroom? (You can find the pattern for Grouchy in Knitting Mochimochi.)
Gidgettm’s friendly Flushie just wants to do what he can to help.
Although I’m not quite sure if he’s up for this daunting task!
Dorien’s Flushie is being put to good use by someone who makes an appearance in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi!
(You know, I just noticed all the green mats in these photos. Funny coincidence, I guess!)
Big thank-yous to these brave testers! Many of my testers are coming through these days with a heap of top-secret projects, and I am so grateful to them all!
