This very nice article on Adventures in Mochimochi Land appeared in the Tulsa World last Thursday.
I love that it includes some quotes from my photographer, Brandi Simons, who lives in the Tulsa area. I’m originally from Owasso, OK, so it’s very special to receive some press for my book back in my hometown.
Thank you to James Watts and the Tulsa World!

I’m so excited to announce that John and I will be returning to Ann Arbor the weekend of July 11th for events at the district library!
On Saturday the 11th, join me from 2-5pm at the library for a tiny crab knitting workshop.
Bring some yarn and a set of double-pointed needles sized for the yarn, and things are going to get crabby! (I recommend size 1s for fingering-weight yarn, size 3s for sport-weight, and size 5s for worsted-weight.) The project is suitable for advanced-beginning knitters who are familiar with using double-pointed needles.
There will also be copies of my new book for sale, and I’ll sign one for you if you like!
Then at 2pm on Sunday the 12th, my husband and pop-culture genius John Teti will be giving a presentation on one of his favorite topics: The Price Is Right! Seriously, this is going to be fun.
If you live in Ann Arbor but can’t make it that weekend, you can download 20 of my patterns for free if you have a library card! Check them out on the AADL website.
This is an intermediate-level BONUS pattern from Adventures in Mochimochi Land, now available from book sellers everywhere. (Signed copies are available from the Mochimochi Shop!)
There are many fish in the sea, including some really funny looking ones! In Adventures in Mochimochi Land, a certain species of long-snouted fish can be seen sniffing out the fishiest candidate in an muddy debate and following their noses when casting votes in the underwater election.
Combine with the other sea creatures from the book (plus tiny fish and mermaids from Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi), to fill out your knitted aquarium! (You do have a knitted aquarium, right?)
Update: Kim sent a photo of her bee onesie—she wasn’t kidding about it!
I don’t know about you all, but now I want a bee onesie too.
Last week I blogged about an interview that Let’s Knit magazine did with me in their July 2015 issue, and I threw in a giveaway because it’s a little boring to just talk about myself.
It’s now time to randomly select a winner winner, which is… commenter number 8, Kim!
I had a huge collection of bee related stuff when I was little, and am currently sitting in my bee onesie as I type this, and with our first baby on the way, this would be awesome for them and me!
It seems that this is a very worthy winner. I for one would love to see this bee onesie that she was wearing as she typed!
Congrats, Kim! I’m emailing you for your mailing address right now.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that these guys have a right to get married!
Update: Congrats to Kim for winning the Bumble Bee Beanie kit giveaway!
Let’s Knit, the UK knitting magazine, has a one-page feature on me for their back page in the July 2015 issue!
I’m talking about how I first learned to knit, how Mochimochi Land got started, and about my new book.
Thank you to Molly at Let’s Knit for the nice feature!
One of the cool things about this magazine is that it always comes with a little gift. So with my copy I received a kit for a knitted baby Bumble Bee Beanie. Would you like to have it? Leave a comment saying why, and I’ll pick someone to give it to next week!
Wishing a happy Father’s Day to all the dads! It’s tough to be so soft.
This is a repost from a couple of years ago when I was making caveman animations! (The tiny caveman pattern can be found in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi.)
