Watch for Signs
If you see a triangle tail poking out from under a closet door, do not engage; back away slowly and call your local yarn store right away. (You’ll want 3 colors of worsted-weight yarn and some fun fur!)
Tiny Mochis Now Available at Rotofugi
I’m so excited to announce that a selection of tiny mochis hand-knitted by yours truly are now available at Rotofugi, the designer toy store and gallery in Chicago!
Rotofugi features toys and artwork by many of my favorite artists (like Mr. Clement, Shawnimals, and Heidi Kenney, to name a few), so it’s a big honor to have a small place among them. When I returned on Friday after dropping them off on Wednesday, I was psyched to find my tiny gnomes, vikings, owls, and pandas right next to Chris Uphues’s awesome heart figurines.
It’s never been my aim to produce tons of mochis for sale, but instead I like to have a small selection available at venues that I’m personally excited about, and Rotofugi is one of those. But if you live far from Chicago, you can also find some hand-knit mochis in my shop, which I’ve just updated with more designs!
Speaking of Wicked Things
I love this wickedly modified TV Guy, which Bonney spotted in the current issue of Let’s Knit magazine!
The original pattern can be found in in Knitting Mochimochi.
Something Thwicked This Way Comes…
Remember how I was gearing up to design a very hairy Halloween creature back in August?
It’s ready. It’s coming. Check back next week!
Super-Scary Mochimochi is Half Off this Month
Good news for anyone who needs to knit up lots of beasties this month: Super-Scary Mochimochi is an entire HALF OFF the original price in the Mochimochi Shop! The book contains more than 20 patterns for old-school ghouls, creepy crawlies, and some bizarre new species, including the most terrifying of appliances gone awry, Toaster Ghost.
The sale ends October 31st. Oh, and all of these books are signed by me!
Ten Tiny Pumpkins
Sometimes it’s fun to just settle in with some good podcasts and knit ten tiny pumpkins.
These dudes are destined to be hunted at Vogue Knitting LIVE in Chicago next month! They’ll be hidden around the marketplace on Sunday, October 26th, and everyone who finds one will win a free copy of Huge & Huggable Mochimochi!
Registration is open for VK LIVE, and I believe there are also still spots open in the classes I’m teaching there.
Want to knit tiny pumpkins of your own? The pattern is available as part of the Tiny Fall collection!
