I was really flattered to be invited by Kristen Rask to participate in her upcoming group show at gallery hanahou, “Lost at Sea.”
The show will feature aquatic-themed works by 33 fiber artists, including Jenny Hart, Hine Mizushima, Jill Bliss, Helle Jorgensen (who made the beautiful crocheted piece pictured above), and other very talented people.
And here are the pieces I made for the show!
If you’re in the NYC area, please come to the opening on May 6th, 7-9 pm!
He used to be friends with a chimp, until he realized that the chimp was just using him to get ants out of a tree.
He came to Earth for our sheep… which didn’t look quite so big from outer space. (He may have to settle for yarn scraps instead.)
tess b left a comment suggesting that I make a Tiny Alien in January, so she gets a free pattern!
It’s Bunny Week in Mochimochi Land! You get a free Dust Bunnies PDF pattern with any purchase of $5 or more from the Mochimochi Shop through April 3rd. (A link to download the pattern will be emailed to you within 24 hours of your purchase.)
Of course I had to make a Tiny Bunny for Bunny Week!
He thinks this whole “Bunny Week” thing is a whole lot of nonsense.
Rachel suggested I make a Tiny Bunny (a “tiny disapproving bunny” to be precise!) last year, so she gets a free pattern!
She udderly despises puns.
Christy suggested that I make a Tiny Cow in the comments back in July last year, so she gets a free pattern!
This flirty fellow tries to pick up girl veggies with his “Kiss me, I’m an antioxidant” t-shirt (not pictured).
Tracy suggested I make an asparagus in the comments in January, so she gets a free pattern!
Since seeing Oiyi’s fun-size versions of my Tiny Things Collection 1 patterns done in worsted yarn, I’ve been meaning to try out one of my Tiny patterns using bulky yarn to see just how much bigger the toy could get. I finally tried it, and it really worked!
I made this not-so-tiny orange elephant yesterday using Lamb’s Pride bulky yarn and size 6 needles. (The pattern is written for fingering-weight yarn and size 1 needles.) I didn’t have to do a single thing differently—the pattern scaled up perfectly! I love how toy patterns are so flexible in this way, don’t you?
Speaking of Tiny Elephants, my Tiny Elephant class is happening tomorrow (Sunday 3/7) at Brooklyn General! I’m really excited about it. If you’re in the area and are not taking the class, I hope you’ll swing by the store after noon, when I’ll be hanging out there with a bunch of knitted friends.
He’s a pretty decent guy—just don’t let him sell you any car insurance.
It seems that nobody has suggested that I make a tiny caveman before, so this one is all me!
