Did you know that Tiny Angels like to play cupid sometimes? Knitjvf demonstrates this perfectly with some adorable cupids on a cloud!
She removed the cherub’s halo and added an I-cord bow to complete the cupid look.
And the cloud? I do believe it’s Rainycloud paired with the free pattern for Hearts!

We asked for your tiny beet puns in Friday’s caption contest, and boy did we get them! Our favorite caption used an unexpected pun that stole our heart…
No one wants to talk to tiny beet – he’s such a borscht.
Poor tiny beet! But great caption from Gwen, who wins the PDF pattern for Hugs + Squoze for her contribution. Yay!
If you have a tiny beet in your life, be sure to remember them this Valentine’s Day!
Winning caption by Gwen:
No one wants to talk to tiny beet – he’s such a borscht.
Why a tiny beet? Why not!
Plus, there are endless pun possibilities with “beet,” right? Prove me right with your tiny beet captions in the comments! We’ll pick our favorite on Tuesday to win…
Hugs + Squoze, the perfect Valentine’s Day project for your main squeeze.
Please remember to only leave one caption—we’ve had to disqualify some great entries in the past because of multiples.
Have you heard about the new gnome in Mochimochi Land? He’s kind of hard to miss!
When he first moved in, all the tiny gnomes ran away and hid. But one brave little gnome decided to overcome his fear and make friends.
Even Nipsey thinks he’s an OK guy, even if he is a rather big cat toy.
I’m a bit in love with him myself, so a pattern is in the works!
I love it when a knitter starts with one of my patterns and takes it in a completely original direction, and I have a perfect example today! Soyaspade took the Pocket Protectors from Knitting Mochimochi…

…and turned her version into Flower and Buddy, creatures who look like they sprang up from a magical garden!
The leaf pattern that she used is from Natural Suburbia, and this beautiful flower is from Lesley Stanfield’s book 100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet.
So much creativity! This really inspires me.

The super nice people at Ottlite got in touch recently to interview me for their blog. I love how community-focused their company is—they’re definitely about more than just selling lamps!
The interview was also a great excuse to get my sister-in-law Jenna to take a photo of me with a few of my creations….
(For those who live in the NYC area, Jenna specializes in taking beautiful photographs of pets and children—check out her website if you have either!)
Autumn at Ottlite was also generous enough to send me a Mini Task Lamp as a thank-you for doing the interview. It actually came at just the right time for me, because I’d been thinking my eyes were finally beginning to weaken just a bit after all the tiny knitting I’ve been doing. It’s suuuper bright!
The brightness makes a huge difference when I’m knitting with dark colors at night. I also love how I can just fold it up and place it on the floor next to my desk during the day.
Thank you to Jenna for the photo, and to Autumn and Ottlite for the interview and the awesome lamp!
Tiny Yetis are mysterious creatures, and we’re just beginning to learn about their behavior in the wild. It turns out that they play a lot of tag!
Maybe we’ll see more peeks into the secret world of Tiny Yetis in the future…
I’m excited to feature a dynamic young knitter today! As a designer of adorable knitted toys who is just 15 years old, Cassidy Clark has wowed me with her talent, and after interviewing her, I’m even more charmed. I think you will be too!
You may have seen Cassidy’s designs on Ravelry. If you’re like me, you’re just as impressed by her photography skills as by her knitting.
