Giant Things Attacking Cities
Nov 18th
Luv-able and Hug-able, an encore of last year’s plush show, will open at gallery hanahou here in NYC in a little over two weeks! The show will feature strange and adorable creations by 30-plus artists and crafters, including a bunch of new recommendations from the Plush You and a selection of Japanese artists.
My own contribution includes these knitted scenes of giant things attacking cities.
Squirrels, Arggghh!
Snails, oh no!
And Mushrooms, run for your lives!
The opening party for Luv-able and Hug-able will be held on December 4th, 6-9 pm, so please save the date if you’re in the NY area! There will also be a special plush-making workshop lead by the amazing Jenny Harada on December 13. (Space is very limited, so email info@galleryhanahou.com if you’re interested.)
I’ll be posting more information and photos of the plushes in the show in the coming weeks.
Update: Thank you to Kristen for posting on the Plush You! blog !

Plush You! This Friday

It’s time again for Plush You!, the annual plush show held at Schmancy in Seattle.
This year might just be the best ever, with original plushes from over 100 artists, including some specially recommended by gallery hanahou.
Also, there’s me! You can go see my three “Snails vs. Slugs” pieces in person.
I so wish I could be there for the opening this Friday. (I’m determined to make it there some day…) If you’re in the Seattle area, please check it out!

BOO!
Oct 1st
Say hello to October, and say hello to the newest pattern in the Mochimochi Shop: Boo the Bat!
Boo’s favorite word is…BOO!
Boo’s second-favorite word? YAHTZEE!
This little bat is a quick knit featuring wraparound wings and feet that can hang from your finger or the nearest tree branch.
Pattern techniques include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, picking up stitches, and mattress stitch.

Update: Thank you to Jenny at the Craft blog, Lime & Violet, and Kristen at the Plush You! blog for posting about Boo!
