Let's make happy
Tiny Things
Tiny Robots
Sep 30th
If you’ve flipped through a copy of Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, then you’re familiar with this bolt head. I just realized that he hasn’t been on my blog yet!
Tiny Robot was inspired a bit by Bender from Futurama, as you might have guessed. I love the photo of him and his friend that Brandi Simons took for my book—it’s one of my favorites!
And now there is a new robot in town! Meet Tiny Robot 2.0.
This bot’s specialty is his arm extension feature, which lets him do lots of hugging and shoplifting. I’m making a bunch of this new model to incorporate into my next installation! It’s going to be unveiled on November 3rd at gallery hanahou in NYC. More info on that soon!
We’ll resume the caption contests next Friday!
Tiny Gyoza
Sep 23rd
Not technically sushi, but I thought a Tiny Gyoza would fit in pretty well at our tiny sushi bar.
So the final sushi bar four are Tiny Ebi Sushi, Tiny Edamame, Tiny Maki Sushi, and Tiny Gyoza! I’m planning to put them together into a new pattern collection, which will probably come out in November. Be on the lookout for it!
I’m traveling this weekend, so there won’t be a caption contest, but we’d love to have your Tiny Gyoza captions anyway just for fun.
Tiny Maki Sushi
Sep 16th
Winning caption by Cassi:
Tiny Maki is not just short and stocky,
but very yummy with teriyaki.
Now for the third installment in the Tiny Sushi Set series!
The color might indicate that this Tiny Maki has tuna inside, but maybe it’s just a mystery maki. (I opt for the veggie sushi myself, but a mixed veggie maki proved tricky to knit.)
Leave a caption for our Tiny Maki (one per person please), and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday, who will win…
…the new Tiny Penguin Kit!
I have an idea of what the last sushi item will be next week, but suggestions are still welcome too!
Tiny Edamame
Sep 9th
Winning caption by Emma:
Once they’re boiled they’re no longer soya beans, but has beans.
What do you think it’s like to be tiny boiled soybeans? Leave your caption in the comments, and we’ll pick the one that makes us giggle the most on Monday. The winner gets a free pattern for Ninjabun!
Also: what should be next in the sushi bar set? I’m thinking it has to have some kind of roll, and then maybe another type of nigiri sushi?
Tiny Sushi
Sep 2nd
Winning caption by Bonnie:
Tiny Sushi to Tiny Edamame: Wasabi?
Tiny Edemame: Nato much, you?
I love how this guy turned out!
The idea to knit this little tiny ebi sushi came directly from the recent Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi giveaway contest that Hannah held on her blog BitterSweet: the winner suggested that I make a Tiny Sushi!
It seems like there have been Mochimochi contests left and right these days, but one more this week couldn’t hurt, right? Leave your caption for Tiny Sushi in the comments to this post (one per person, please) and we’ll choose our favorite on Tuesday to win…
The pattern for Flapjack Frogs!
Have a happy Labor Day to those who are celebrating. See you on Tuesday!
