I took a break from knitting and assembling the other day to take photos of some of the elements in my upcoming show. Here’s a peek at what’s to come!
The opening is now just two weeks away, which means that my perspective on it is constantly shifting from excited to panicked. I guess that probably means I’m right on track! (Or maybe it doesn’t, and I should just be panicking…)
John sent this photo from Japan!
Normally I don’t go crazy over animals in people clothes, unless they’re cats and they’re dressed as salary men.
This is just the cutest animation! I love the minimalism of it, and the writing is great too.

I’ve noticed many new Boos flying around the internet latey—I guess it’s getting to be that time of year!
This one by Eskimimi is simply breathtaking.
She altered the wings to make them lie flatter, which seems brilliant to me. Eskimimi’s blog is one of the few that I follow regularly, so it was a happy surprise to see her Boos in my RSS.
If you make a Boo, be sure to add your photos to the Mochimochi Friends group on Flickr!
So what is life like for a Tiny Doughnut?
Laura summed it up best in her winning caption: “and sometimes.. people stare at me as if they can just see right through me..”
Aw, poor tiny doughnut. But congrats to Laura, who gets a free PDF pattern from the Mochimochi Shop for her caption!
Some people answered the question at the top of this post a bit more literally, and honorable mention goes to Bonney, for her answer:
Short!

How would you sum up the life of a tiny doughnut? Leave your caption in the comments (one per person, please), and I’ll pick my fave on Monday morning. Winner gets a free PDF pattern from the Mochimochi Shop!
Here’s a fun knitting and crochet project going down at Maker Faire: fiber artist Robyn Love and Lion Brand are organizing NYC knitters to knit a huge cozy for a rocket sculpture. (I’m pretty sure the rocket is from the 1964 World’s Fair.)
You can stop by the Lion Brand Yarn Studio next Monday or Tuesday night to contribute a section, and you can also knit one up at Maker Faire.
I’ve been following Robyn’s blog for a long time now, so I was excited to read about this. I’ll be at Maker Faire too, so when I can sneak off from the library for a few minutes I’m going to check this out
