Introducing Gobbledyghost!
Sep 29th
A mysterious new creature just made its home in the Mochimochi Shop!
Because why should people have all the fun? Goblins want to dress up for Halloween too!
It’s been a really long time since I created a Halloween pattern, so I’m psyched to introduce
Gobbledyghost, the ghost costume-wearing goblin! With or without his costume, Gobbledyghost is spookily cute and a quick knitting project.
The pattern is now available as a $5 PDF download in the Mochimochi Shop!
Tiny Penguin and Tiny Santa Kits Now Available
Sep 15th
Just added kits for these guys to the Mochimochi Shop!
Each kit comes with the pattern and enough fingering-weight yarn (Cascade Heritage, a wool/nylon blend) and stuffing to make three penguins or two Santas. You’ll just need size 1 US double-pointed needles and a tapestry needle. The kits are an easy way to take tiny knitting on the go, and they also make great gifts for knitters!
All seven kits are available for $12 each in the Mochimochi Shop.
Errata for Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi
Aug 26th
A few nice people have pointed out mistakes in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, and so I’m going to list the corrections here.
If you think you found a mistake, or if you just have a question about one of the patterns, you can email me anytime at info [at] mochimochiland [dot] com. I will keep updating this page.

Picture B should look like this:
Knitting Abbreviations, page 142
The definition for m1 is missing:
m1 = Pick up the bar that appears between stitches, place it onto the left needle, and knit through its back loop. This will increase by one stitch.
“Get Hooked” at Tante Netty, The Netherlands
Aug 25th
According to my web stats, 155 people from The Netherlands visited my website last week. So this news is for my Dutch readers (and others in Europe, too—those countries are all so close together)!
Along with works by Thomas C. Chung, some of my knitted pieces and fiber art will be on exhibit for the next two months at Tante Netty gallery in The Netherlands. “Get Hooked” will open on September 4th and will be on exhibit through October 30th. The gallery is also organizing other urban crafting events around Dutch Design Week at the end of October.
Visitors will be able to see my Giant Yarn Ball in the Sky, along with 50 selected Tiny Things from my blog series.
And knitted paint by Thomas C. Chung will also be on exhibit—I really wish I could see this in person!
Here’s the official show info:
Second exhibition gallery Tante Netty: Get Hooked!
On Sunday September 4th, Tante Netty opens the exhibition Get Hooked! With its second exhibition, the only Dutch offline blog gallery shows the reinvention of the craft of knitting. The exhibition features works of the online popular artists and urban knitters Anna ‘Mochimochi Land’ Hrachovec (US) and Thomas C. Chung (AU). Local urban knitters present their work as well. The exhibition runs from September 4th until October 30st. During Dutch Design Week (October 23/30), visitors can join tag knitting workshops, yarn bombing parties and guerrilla knitting events.
Tante Netty gallery is a really interesting space, so even if you have no way to get there in person, the website is certainly worth a visit!
