Since I released the Looper pattern at Loops a couple of weeks ago, there are now a few completed Loopers roaming the earth!

Svendel came all the way from Arkansas to attend last Saturday’s class at Loops, and she finished her little guy in no time! I could tell that she would, since she knits faster than I do.

Her Looper is king of the laptop!

It’s awesome to see someone finish the project we started in the class.

Pattern tester extraordinaire Miki wasn’t in the class, but she was sweet enough to give the pattern a try while it was still in the works. She recently wrote about her Looper on her blog, with the cutest photos.

I was happy to see that Miki also entered her pics in the Mochimochi Photo Contest!

Miki details her full experience with the pattern in her blog post, which I really appreciate. Thank you, Miki!

It recently occurred to me that it might be time to do some dusting…

A new pattern coming very soon!

Since I made it for the “Plush You” show at Schmancy last year, I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries about Squirrel-Infested Tree. I was happy to find that there was interest in a pattern, but since I made it as a one-of-a-kind toy, there is no pattern for it (and the toy has since been sold). But I love trees, especially less-than-happy trees, so I recently made another to be available as a pattern.

This is Lucky—or maybe Splat, I haven’t decided yet. He’s not having such a great day, but the birds tell him that to be pooped on is a sign of good luck. He’s not convinced.

Any preference on the name? Or if you have other name suggestions, I would love to hear them!

This is Pat and Tap, and their pets Bit and Tib.

These little guys have a secret. Can you tell what it is?

Pat and Tap are made from the same pattern, but flipped!

Of course, Bit and Tib have the same thing in common.

This acrobatic family has a long history of performing in circuses. They’re making me dizzy just watching them do backflips.
