Since seeing Oiyi’s fun-size versions of my Tiny Things Collection 1 patterns done in worsted yarn, I’ve been meaning to try out one of my Tiny patterns using bulky yarn to see just how much bigger the toy could get. I finally tried it, and it really worked!
I made this not-so-tiny orange elephant yesterday using Lamb’s Pride bulky yarn and size 6 needles. (The pattern is written for fingering-weight yarn and size 1 needles.) I didn’t have to do a single thing differently—the pattern scaled up perfectly! I love how toy patterns are so flexible in this way, don’t you?
Speaking of Tiny Elephants, my Tiny Elephant class is happening tomorrow (Sunday 3/7) at Brooklyn General! I’m really excited about it. If you’re in the area and are not taking the class, I hope you’ll swing by the store after noon, when I’ll be hanging out there with a bunch of knitted friends.

Hands off his mini banana!

I’m excited to be working on a piece for an upcoming sea-themed show curated by Kristen Rask of Schmancy.
My dad used to have a sailboat, which he particularly liked to take out on gusty days. The whole rocking ordeal terrified me for the most part, so to this day I don’t feel a strong calling to jump on a boat. But I do love the romantic, summery image—especially on this snowy day in NY!
He plans to someday sail to the Far East—by which he means the puddle down the street.
Elisabeth suggested a Tiny Sailboat way back in July, so she gets a free pattern!
