It recently occurred to me that it might be time to do some dusting…
A new pattern coming very soon!

I took this photo with my phone camera a few weeks ago. It’s a building on 11th Avenue in New York, not far from where I live.
I like how it’s a normal building, then it just stops, as if part of the backside melted away. Not sure what’s going on here.
A few of these little guys will be part of the prizes for the upcoming photo contest. Full details next week!
If you missed it in CRAFT magazine, you can now get the pattern for Which Came First?, the reversible chicken and egg, right here in the Mochimochi Shop!
This simple pattern calls for knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, I-cord, and mattress stitch.
It may not get you any closer to the answer, but at least it’s a fun project!
On my last day in Japan last month, I was in a crowded JR train and noticed TWO ads featuring cute girls and plush mascots, one right across from the other in the car.
They’re advertising completely different things, and neither of those things are toys.
This girl and her panda puppet want you to drink Kirin green tea.
The panda seems more interested in eating the cap, though.
And this girl and her giant frog are hawking loans, of all things.
As cute as that frog is, I’m not sure if it would motivate me to take out a loan from this particular company. Then again, I’m not Japanese.
I’m very excited to announce the first-ever Mochimochi Land class at Loops yarn store in Tulsa! If you’ll be in the Tulsa area on Thursday, June 19th, or Saturday, June 21st, sign up now for one of the sessions by calling Loops at 918-742-YARN (9276). (See the website for full class info.)
What’s more, the class will also be the debut of a new Mochimochi Land pattern: Looper, the cuddly creature with a prehensile tail!
Looper will be exclusive to Loops through the end of the year. The printed pattern will be available both in-store and online starting in late June, so if you’re not in the area, you’ll still be able to get one!
John and I have been talking about a site redesign for some time now, and one of the things we want to add is a list of stores that are carrying printed Mochmochi Land patterns. The list is growing fast, so I thought I’d do a temporary list here on the blog. I’ll keep adding to it until we make a more permanent list!

Anla, the “almost 12″-year-old knitter who made a terrific Butterfull a couple months ago, has published her first free pattern on her blog!
This boho-chic scarf looks quick to knit up, and great for a cool spring day or early fall.
I’m pretty blown away by Anla’s expertise. When I was 11 I think I was playing with bugs or something….
