Sheila’s Feasting Yetis

My fellow tiny knits lover Sheila made a family of tiny yetis and then gave them a feast fit for an abominable snowman!

Something tells me these little carnivores wouldn’t have the best table manners… but they’re so cute, who cares!

Knitjvf’s Tiny Anne of Green Gables

Here’s another great tiny mochi mod of an iconic little lady!

tinybride_knitjvf

Knitjvf used the Tiny Bride pattern (from Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi) as a base to knit up this adorable tiny Anne of Green Gables. Isn’t she just storybook perfect with her miniature apron? Brings back happy memories from my childhood!

You might remember that this knitter was also the winner of our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest last month, with her “bunnies change a lightbulb” series.

Zephrbabe’s Tiny Ms. Natural

A while back, my dad suggested out of nowhere that I knit a tiny Birth of Venus. (I love his suggestions.) I had the idea filed at the back of my mind when to my surprise, someone else beat me to it!

Isn’t she just perfect with her flowing locks? Zephrbabe on Ravelry knit her using the Tiny Gnome pattern as a base. I love how just a simple color swap makes something naked!

This little lady is actually pretty versatile: she can be any naked gal from history, like Eve…

Or Lady Godiva!

Genius!

Tiny Dung Beetle is Both Color and Smell Blind

We got a ton of amusing captions over the weekend for Tiny Dung Beetle—both tasteful and not so much! After reading through many good ones, John and I decided we were particularly charmed to think that the little guy was just trying to have some wintry fun…

Tiny dung beetle is color blind, he just wants to make a snowman.

That caption comes from Tracy! That means she wins the Tiny Fantasy Patterns. Good clean fun!

Thanks everyone for the captions! We’ll have another contest sometime soon.

Biggo Giveaway Winner

Wow, I am so impressed by all the really BIG projects described in the comments on my Jumbo Gnome post—more than 450 of them! I have to admit it’s especially fun to hear about all the accidentally large projects that resulted from not swatching or misreading the pattern.

Now let’s find out who won this beautiful Knit Picks Biggo yarn!

Randomly selecting from the 446 comments left before midnight Eastern on Sunday…

Our winner is comment #246, by Gulnoza!

The biggest thing I’ve knit was a teddy bear, which wasn’t actually very big; I just like to make a lot of tiny things!

A nice surprise to see that the winner is a regular commenter here. Congratulations, Gulnoza!

And thank you to Knit Picks for sponsoring this giveaway!

For those of you who didn’t win, I hope you’ll still want to knit your own Jumbo Gnome, whether with Biggo or another yarn. Here’s Gnorman, slightly-smaller gnome knitted in worsted-weight yarn by Dorien, one of my excellent pattern testers!

Adorable!

Thank you to Dorien, and also to Amanda, Brian, Marilyn, and Mary for their very helpful test knitting!

Bunnies Go Camping

It seemed fitting to follow up the Girl Scout pattern with this adorable scene from bunny camp, made by Kristen for our recent Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!

The book of scary bunny stories and the roasting carrot are perfect touches. Adorable!

Bunnies Weave a Rainbow

The Tiny Baby Bunnies Appreciation Society continues!

For our tiny bunnies contest, Sarah showed us her amazing crafty bunnies whom she’s trained to help with her weaving!

Love it! Now if she could just teach them to do mattress stitch and assemble her knitting, she’d really be in business.
