Plus, there are endless pun possibilities with “beet,” right? Prove me right with your tiny beet captions in the comments! We’ll pick our favorite on Tuesday to win…

Hugs + Squoze, the perfect Valentine’s Day project for your main squeeze.

Please remember to only leave one caption—we’ve had to disqualify some great entries in the past because of multiples.

When he first moved in, all the tiny gnomes ran away and hid. But one brave little gnome decided to overcome his fear and make friends.

Even Nipsey thinks he’s an OK guy, even if he is a rather big cat toy.

I’m a bit in love with him myself, so a pattern is in the works!

…and turned her version into Flower and Buddy, creatures who look like they sprang up from a magical garden!

The leaf pattern that she used is from Natural Suburbia, and this beautiful flower is from Lesley Stanfield’s book 100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet.

So much creativity! This really inspires me.

The interview was also a great excuse to get my sister-in-law Jenna to take a photo of me with a few of my creations….

(For those who live in the NYC area, Jenna specializes in taking beautiful photographs of pets and children—check out her website if you have either!)

Autumn at Ottlite was also generous enough to send me a Mini Task Lamp as a thank-you for doing the interview. It actually came at just the right time for me, because I’d been thinking my eyes were finally beginning to weaken just a bit after all the tiny knitting I’ve been doing. It’s suuuper bright!

The brightness makes a huge difference when I’m knitting with dark colors at night. I also love how I can just fold it up and place it on the floor next to my desk during the day.

Thank you to Jenna for the photo, and to Autumn and Ottlite for the interview and the awesome lamp!

But snow is lovely, so why not a snowy little scene before the month of January is gone?

Tiny Yetis are mysterious creatures, and we’re just beginning to learn about their behavior in the wild. It turns out that they play a lot of tag!

Maybe we’ll see more peeks into the secret world of Tiny Yetis in the future…
