Bunnies Go Camping

It seemed fitting to follow up the Girl Scout pattern with this adorable scene from bunny camp, made by Kristen for our recent Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!

The book of scary bunny stories and the roasting carrot are perfect touches. Adorable!

The bunny contest is over (see the winners here), but any photos of Mochimochi knits added to our Flickr group with automatically be entered in our big photo contest this fall.

This year the Girl Scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary, and having been one myself, I’m proud to celebrate with them in Mochimochi style! I hope this pattern for an inch-tall Girl Scout will come in handy for gifts and exchanges, and knitters are welcome to use it for Girl Scouts related fundraising.

Bunnies Weave a Rainbow

The Tiny Baby Bunnies Appreciation Society continues!

For our tiny bunnies contest, Sarah showed us her amazing crafty bunnies whom she’s trained to help with her weaving!

Love it! Now if she could just teach them to do mattress stitch and assemble her knitting, she’d really be in business.

The Gameological Society

John has a new website! And it isn’t just any website, it’s new partner site of The A.V. Club, where I’m sure many of you read about movies, TV, and other pop culture stuff. My husband’s new project, called The Gameological Society, is dedicated to intelligent and fun discussion about games—mostly video games, but also board games, game shows, and sports. The idea is that games are a part of all of our lives, and thinking about them shouldn’t just be for the guys who think of themselves as “hard core” gamers.

I know there’s a huge overlap between knitters and gamers, so I hope many of you will check it out! (And that cute pic of Soupy on a laptop that you see if you scroll down a bit on the homepage? That’s my cat and I took that photo!)

What’s your favorite game these days? Please share in the comments!

Easter Bunny Dyeing

Have you dyed your Tiny Baby Bunnies for Easter yet? btc989 shows us how!

You start with some white bunnies, and some cups with dye in them.

Dip a bunny by its tail…

Just do a half-dip if you want a multicolored bunny.

I bet this basket would be a bigger hit than jellybeans!

The knitter/photographer assures us that no bunnies were hurt or actually “dyed” in this process. Another great entry in our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!

Now we know how to dye our bunnies, but did you know that bunnies sometimes dye themselves? Driveshesaid shows us what can happen if they’re left unsupervised!

What a mess! So be sure you keep an eye on your bunnies—this week we’ve seen that left unchecked, they might play the lottery, build an empire, torture and kill marshmallow Peeps, or start a protest!

You can make your own Tiny Baby Bunnies from the free pattern! Share them in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group. (The bunny contest is over, but all other photos will be automatically entered in our big contest in the fall.)
