Plinky & Plunky Have Arrived!
Feb 23rd
Look who are finally making their Mochimochi Land debut!
Plinky the Piano and Plunky the Bench will make sweet music on your needles! They both can be knit up in a matter of days, and make a great gift for a music lover. Or just place them on the TV to add a touch of class to your living room.
The pattern is now available as a PDF download in the Mochimochi Shop!
Our thanks to RC for suggesting Plunky’s name back in January!
New Art Website
Feb 15th
I thought it was worth a mention here that I have a new website featuring my different art projects, at annahrachovec.com.
This is where you can easily find photos of my installations, in addition to a general look at some of my favorite toy designs.
It also includes some great new photos from my Gnomes vs Snowmen show taken by my sister-in-law Jenna.
See the rest of them here.
I am so grateful for Jenna’s help! She always blows me away with her images. (Check out her amazing new Westminster dog photos, and get a session with her if you’re in the NYC area!)
I’m hoping the website will be a good introduction of my work to people in the arts or media. And I’m also very excited to be newly represented by CWC International for commercial art and licensing. Maybe some fun and interesting projects will come about!
Tiny Kits at White River Yarns
Feb 9th
I haven’t mentioned it here much on the blog, but my Tiny Mochi Kits have been finding their way into local yarn stores across the country over the past year. The latest LYS to carry them is White River Yarns in White River Junction, VT!
I had the pleasure of visiting last week during a trip to see family in New Hampshire. It’s such a charming store, and owner Karen is just lovely (although a little camera shy).
I was thrilled to see the display she had set up with my kits and with the new Spring 2012 issue of Debbie Bliss Magazine, which includes an interview with me. It was my first time seeing it, so I was doubly excited!
If your LYS isn’t carrying the Tiny Mochi Kits, please encourage them to get in touch!
I’m also looking to find a few sales reps for the kits in different areas of the country (with the exception of NYC, New England, and TX, OK, AR). If you are interested, please contact me at info@mochimochiland.com.
Tiny Sushi Bar Patterns are Here!
Jan 13th
Look what’s new on the Mochimochi menu!
Whip up each of these little guys in about an hour for the quickest and cutest made-to-order knits! A little scrap yarn and stuffing is all you need.
The pattern collection is now available as a PDF download for $5 in the Mochimochi Shop!
Hand Knit Tiny Mochis Now Available
Jan 5th
Just a quick note to say that I recently added some hand-knit tiny mochis to the shop! These are each knitted by me, so if you’re not a knitter, you can still have one of your own!
I haven’t done a lot of knitting-for-sale before, but I do love knitting so much that when I have extra time and no new designs on the needles, it’s nice to knit up a few of my personal favorites.
Quantities are limited, of course!
