Tubby Has Arrived!

Tubby is finally ready to make a splash in the Mochimochi Shop!

This knitted bathtub is the first Mochimochi Land pattern created by popular demand. (He was originally meant to be a one-of-a-kind, but his loyal fans insisted that he receive pattern status.)

So because you asked for Tubby, now you can make your own Tubby! This fun pattern consists of simple techniques of knitting in the round and mattress stitch.

Buy the pattern as a PDF download here!

UPDATE 2/5/08: By the way, for those who are on my mailing list and received a mysterious announcement email with no subject, I apologize. My Mail program is doing strange things to my emails once they leave my outbox. Hopefully the next one will have a subject line!

I Sewed Something

This is Charleston.

I’m very much a beginner at sewing, so I was amazed that I could accomplish a cute toy in one day. With the help of my mother-in-law, of course!

His bottom, which I had to sew shut by hand, is a little bunchy…

But I think he’s totally cute!

We made him from this McCall’s pattern:

It was a little confusing, because there were different pieces for doggy 1 and doggy 2, but they looked like the same dog to me.

Anyway, a dog got made end the end, and I feel like I’ve accomplished my “argg out of comfort zone” challenge for the month.
