Autumnal Boos
Oct 13th
By special request from my parents for a friend of theirs who is a Halloween fanatic, I made some Boos in autumn colors last week. I love them!
In addition to Yahtzee, these Boos are fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The Boo projects up on Ravelry now number 57 and counting! There are so many fantastic pics there that I might have to post many of them before Halloween.
giolou’s Pundits
Sep 8th
Tester giolou (of the Sails vs. Slugs baseball series) did a swell job trying out the Pundit Babies pattern for me before I released it last week. I was happy to see pics of her adorable results!
She used Lamb’s Pride worsted yarn for her stout little mascots.
The reading material she posed them on might give away giolou’s personal leanings, but she claims to love both of these guys equally!
Thank you to giolou, and also Oiyi, Jessica, and Hannah for testing!
Photo Contest 08: Semifinalists, Round One
Aug 7th
It’s semifinals time! Today we’re posting the first 10 of 20 semifinalists in the 2008 Mochimochi Photo Contest. Like last year, John and I selected semifinalists based on originality of subject, creativity of knitting, and quality of photo. So many photos met these criteria, it was amazing!
We need to narrow the 20 semifinalists down to 10, and you can help by campaigning for your favorites in the comments of this post. Tomorrow we’ll post the next 10 semifinalists, and then we’ll post the selected 10 finalists and voting will officially begin!

Butterfull couldn’t be cuter sitting in her tree. A great modification to the wings too!

This degree of cuteness is bordering on obscene.

This photo is so good it could be an ad for shoes. Or little knitted hearts!
Conga Line of Bobs by kayk.
Has anyone else noticed how much Bobs have been up to in our photo contest? So far we’ve had Bobs dressing up as bikers, Bobs building snowbobs, Bobs playing with chicken legs… I’m pretty convinced that these adorable Bobs are actually doing the conga!
Dust Bunny and Big Bunny by rfrmdsquirrel
Am I seeing double? You two must be sisters! (Check out other great bunny-and-bunny photos on the knitter’s photostream)
Which are your favorites? Let us know in the comments!
