Reminder: Toy Knitting Class at Lion Brand Studio Aug 29
Aug 19th
Just a reminder that I’ll be teaching a master class at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio next Sunday, August 29th. There are still some spots open, so if you’re in the NYC area and new to toy knitting, I recommend it!
We’ll be making the Baby Gators from Knitting Mochimochi.

London Pigeon Party in Knit Today
Aug 17th
UK magazine Knit Today just published a really nice feature about the Tiny Perching Pigeon Party that I did with Stitch London in June. Check it out in the September issue!
It brought back memories of a fantastic trip. A big thank-you to Marie Parry for this!
Tiny Things Collection 3 Patterns Now Available!
Aug 5th
Just added to the Mochimochi Shop!
What do a gnome, a frog, a stack of pancakes, and a trash can have in common? The answer is completely nothing, and that’s what makes the newest Tiny Things pattern collection so much random cute fun.
I chose four of my favorite designs from my ongoing Tiny series for this new pattern collection. All use fingering weight yarn and size 1 double-pointed needles, and the simple techniques include picking up stitches and I-cord.
As always, if you’re in a not-so-tiny mood, these projects can be scaled up easily by using thicker yarn and larger needles.
You can buy the PDF pattern collection for $5 here!
Interview on Yarncraft Podcast
Aug 3rd
Interested to learn about how I design all of my patterns? You can hear me talk about my design process on episode 72 of the YarnCraft podcast, which went live today. (Spoiler alert: I way prefer experimentation and frogging over swatching and math!)
The podcast also includes interviews with designers Margaret Hubert and Kristin Omdahl—very different designers, very different processes!
Thank you for the interview, Zontee!
