Happy year of the cow! It’s off to a udderly disappointing start (for the most part). But there are good things on the horizon in 2021.

For example, this could be the year that you practice self care through knitting delightful little toys for yourself and for others! Here’s some encouragement: 21% off most everything in the Mochimochi Shop.

Just use the code HAPPYMOOYEAR when checking out to take 21% off everything. (Gift cards, hand-knit originals, and the Bluebirds of Crappiness pattern are the only things the discount won’t apply to.)

Good news: Thanks to your Generosi-trees and Bluebirds of Crappiness pattern purchases, we raised $1,360 for Chicago food support in December!

I just sent half of that to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and the other half to Jermaine Jordan’s Healthy Hot Free Meals Restaurant.

Our total raised throughout the pandemic is now over $4K. Thank you, knitters of cute things!

I’ve been spending the first days of 2021 mostly with my kids, but expect to get back to things Mochimochi soon.

This little tree is all about giving, so all proceeds from sales of the Generosi-trees pattern this month will go to Chicago area food banks. 🎁🎄🎁

The pattern includes instructions to knit little presents too!
