If you missed it, I just spent the month of July knitting tiny things—one for every weekday, for 23 tiny things in total!
I spent a lot of time on these, but it was so satisfying to have a big collection of them in the end. Some were easier than others—I remember whipping up the Tiny Ice Cream in very little time, while the Tiny Vacuum Cleaner was one of the hardest for me to design. I had fun with them all, but some of my personal favorites are the Tiny Forest, Tiny Lion, Tiny Cheeseburger, and Tiny Computer. What are your favorites?
As I think I’ve mentioned in the comments, I would like to make some of these available as patterns, but I haven’t yet decided in what form to publish them. (And I have a ton of other projects going on that I need to finish up first!) I’m really happy to see the great response these guys have gotten and it’s wonderful to know that there is interest in patterns.
I’m going to try to keep up the series with one new tiny thing each week. In the meantime, I’m adding a new (non-tiny) summertime pattern to the Mochimochi Shop later this week. More to come on that soon!
Update: Thank you to Super Cute Kawaii for posting about the tinys!
I love all of the tinys but I think the tiny forest is one of my favorites along with the violin and the vacuum. They are all amazing!
I can’t pick a favorite…I love them all!
New pattern! Whoooooooooooooo! And my fave is still the Tiny Lion
I love them all…it’s too hard to pick just one.
sell them in sets:
animals-panda, armadillo, lion, fish
food- burger, ice cream, potato, egg
earth-trees, volcano, tornado, globe
cleaning supplies-tissues, garbage can, vacuum
little peopleish things-bully, gnome, brain, ghost
the ones that dont actually fit into a group :)-violin,computer, record player, hot air balloon
It’s cool to see them all lined up like that!
It kinda looks like a calendar…
And can’t wait for the new pattern!
Sorry for the double post, but my favorites were the computer, the violin, and the panda!
What a wonderful collection photo! As for distribution ideas: perhaps a booklet form? Ysolda recently did one of those compiliations as did Jess Hutch for a collection of (regular sized) toys.
my favorites are the cheeseburger and brain!
New pattern? Awesome!
I love them all. What about self publishing a little booklet of patterns or maybe a E-booklet(PDF).
fantastic job - it was fabulous checking your blog to see what you’ve made.
I love Jill’s idea and I want to knit them all!
Favorite item: Tiny Earth
Favorite bio: Tiny Vacuum Cleaner
You are so talented.
YEAY! I’m so glad you did a gnome. I think I suggested it too, or maybe I said pixie or elf! My favorites are the gnome and the lion. I’d love to see patterns for these!
Must … have … tiny panda …
My faves are the tiny vacuum, tissues and armadillos! This is such a cool feature! I would be interested in buying the tiny patterns. You could like bundle them up or sell them individually. I would definately purchase the vacuum, tissues and armadillo!
(I would love to knit them all though!)
All of them are adorable but my personal faves are the tiny ice cream, goldfish, panda and the tissues.
Still love them. The tiny ‘puter is my favourite. and the rubbish bin. My son wants them all. Looking forward to patterns.
But I think once a week might be too often for additions. Once a month I reckon.
This might be too many favorites to be helpful, but here they are.
Awesomest: panda cheeseburger, gnome, armadillo, ice cream, violin, ghost and vacuum cleaner
Second most awesomest: tornado, lion, earth, hot air balloon, forest, trash can, record player
Tissues should be either in awesomest or second most awesomest, I can’t decide.
I like the idea above of selling them in sets. I would knit them all.
Hi, I just found these and they’re amazing! I also love all your little comments on each one, the one about the computer and mouse argument was hilarious!
Awww, these are so cute, tiny gnome is my favourite.
Just yesterday I looked though them all to decide on my favorite. I love the armadillo, lion, and earth, but my favorite is the vacuum cleaner.
I love them! You should totally sell them in sets, like “Tiny Animals” and “Tiny Household Objects” and “Tiny Outdoor Items”. My favourite is definitely the Tiny Gnome!
Tiny Trash Can or the Tiny Computer are my favourites.
But still I love them ALL :P, great work!!
The trash can and earth are especially cute
They are all really cool!
Anna, you can sell each one for a limited time, and we can collect them all… (since I imagine it takes time to write the patterns), or you could give one away, and sell the rest as a pattern set.
I absolutely adore the little gnome! He totally made my day
Really hope to find him in the pattern shop soon.
I love to visit your site because it always makes me smile. This collection has me grinning from ear to ear. Cannot wait to see what’s next!
I can’t pick a favorite. All of them are terrific. I visit Mochimochiland frequently, but this month I didn’t miss a day. I hope to see patterns for these. Thank you!!
My favorites are: Tiny Forest, Earth, Cheeseburger, Box of tissues and Volcano
My favourites are: Tiny Earth, Volcano, The tissues with issues, ghost, computer and egg. Can’t wait to see the new pattern later this week. This might chance my Christmas knitting game plan.
p.s. I think the weekly tiny item is a brilliant idea. I checked out your website every day when I caught onto the tiny knitted item athon!
I absolutely loved this series- I think my favorite would have to be the little fish!
I think the calendar idea is a really good one.
I like the gnome and the tissue and tissue box.
I also like the calendar idea… I just can’t pick a favorite!
these are great. how lucky you are that you can knit these small things! i cannot deal with them because of my eyes… anyway my daughter also loved them her favorite is tiny forest so is mine !
i loooveee the tiny collection.. you should either sell the for like $2 each or make em like a package for $20.00 in pdf
i cant wait to see them for sale
so cute to see all the tinies together!
I’m a big fan of Tiny Gnome. But I also love Tiny Violin, Tiny Garbage and Tiny Cheeseburger!
OMG these are so ridiculously adorable.
I really hope you find time to make the patterns available eventually, because I would love to have them. I love tiny things, and I love inanimate objects (esp food) with faces… *would probably end up buying the whole set lol*
My personal favorites… tiny computer, tiny brain, tiny ice cream? It’s so hard to pick!
I love the gnome!!! It came out just as I imagined when I suggested it!! Too bad someone else had already suggested it,
The patterns would make a great booklet, pdf, etc. We really wanted them published in some form! Great, great, great, great, GREAT job!!!
Your tiny things are ginormous with skill and super-cuteness! Beautiful work
I love the brain and the violin (because my husband is a neuroscientist and I’m a violin teacher), but for technique and creativity points I love the record player, cheeseburger, vacuum and volcano. Heck, all of them are adorable.
I love all of your patterns but would love even more if you had tiny things patterns! I would love to learn how to knit these! I would knit and give them to all of my friends. How absolutely adorable!
I LOVE your tiny series!
I could totally see it as an Ebook, published online - if you’re into that sort of thing! I know they’re kind of new, but I like that all the proceeds go to the author, rather than the publishing house’s staff!
Just my two pennies!
