New Kits and a Mystery Bonus!

I’m excited to announce two new kits in the shop: Sushi and Unicorn!

These tiny mochi kits give you the pattern and just the right amount of yarn and stuffing to knit multiple itty-bitty mochis! They’re perfect for grab-and-go vacation knitting, and they make super gifts for your fellow knitters. All you need are a set of size 1 DPNs and a tapestry needle to get started.

Nine different kits are now available for $12 each in the Mochimochi Shop!

**Nab a Mystery Preview Kit**

Through May 31, purchase 2 or more kits and/or books from the Mochimochi Shop and get a free mystery preview kit!

These kits are new Tiny Mochi designs not available anywhere else! (They’ll be added to the Mochimochi Shop this fall.) A little hint: all three are human-type mochis, not animals or objects.

Don’t you hate it when you’re a zombie, and you know your arm isn’t so securely attached to your body but you go ahead and do some jumping jacks anyway?

I hate that too.

Zephrbabe’s Tiny Ms. Natural

A while back, my dad suggested out of nowhere that I knit a tiny Birth of Venus. (I love his suggestions.) I had the idea filed at the back of my mind when to my surprise, someone else beat me to it!

Isn’t she just perfect with her flowing locks? Zephrbabe on Ravelry knit her using the Tiny Gnome pattern as a base. I love how just a simple color swap makes something naked!

This little lady is actually pretty versatile: she can be any naked gal from history, like Eve…

Or Lady Godiva!

Genius!

Tiny Dung Beetle is Both Color and Smell Blind

We got a ton of amusing captions over the weekend for Tiny Dung Beetle—both tasteful and not so much! After reading through many good ones, John and I decided we were particularly charmed to think that the little guy was just trying to have some wintry fun…

Tiny dung beetle is color blind, he just wants to make a snowman.

That caption comes from Tracy! That means she wins the Tiny Fantasy Patterns. Good clean fun!

Thanks everyone for the captions! We’ll have another contest sometime soon.

Winning caption by Tracy:
Tiny dung beetle is color blind, he just wants to make a snowman.

And now for something completely different… a tiny dung beetle!

I’ve never met one in person, but I imagine they’re a pretty down-to-earth bunch.

Let’s have a tiny dung beetle caption contest! Leave your caption for this little guy in the comments, and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday. The winner will get the Tiny Fantasy Patterns!

(Bonus points if your caption is both funny AND tasteful!)
