Easter Bunnies aren’t born; they’re made. Starting with Easter Bunny preschool, as shown by saraq24‘s entry in the Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!
If I could go back and do it over again, I’d start with Easter Bunny preschool too.
Happy Easter!

Passover Bunnies
Bunnies aren’t just for Easter, of course. fhmitchellaud gives us a peek at how the Steinbunnies celebrate Passover!
So cute! Happy Passover to those who are celebrating tonight and next week.
Easter Bunny Dyeing
Have you dyed your Tiny Baby Bunnies for Easter yet? btc989 shows us how!
You start with some white bunnies, and some cups with dye in them.
Dip a bunny by its tail…
Just do a half-dip if you want a multicolored bunny.
I bet this basket would be a bigger hit than jellybeans!
The knitter/photographer assures us that no bunnies were hurt or actually “dyed” in this process. Another great entry in our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!
Now we know how to dye our bunnies, but did you know that bunnies sometimes dye themselves? Driveshesaid shows us what can happen if they’re left unsupervised!
What a mess! So be sure you keep an eye on your bunnies—this week we’ve seen that left unchecked, they might play the lottery, build an empire, torture and kill marshmallow Peeps, or start a protest!
You can make your own Tiny Baby Bunnies from the free pattern! Share them in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group. (The bunny contest is over, but all other photos will be automatically entered in our big contest in the fall.)
Bunnies are the 99%
These bunnies are speaking truth to power, and their numbers are multiplying!
D.C. area knitter Rusty made these outspoken little guys to surprise coworkers with. If only all activists were this adorable!
Tiny Bunny Cannibalism?
We announced the winners of the Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest yesterday, but we had so many favorites that we’re going to be featuring many more here on the blog!
This scene is not for the weak at heart…. it appears that some bunnies don’t take kindly to their marshmallow counterparts. Eek!
The photo is by Laliebugs. We love the sick sense of humor!
You can see all 300+ Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest entries in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr Group. And you can knit your own Tiny Baby Bunnies with the free pattern!
A Majestic Tiny Dinosaur Surveys his Cookies
I was psyched to see herds of bunnies spring up over the weekend in the Flickr group for our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest! You’ve got one more week to enter, which is plenty of time to knit up some bunnies and photograph them doing something cute and creative.
To give us all a little inspiration, here’s neledh’s awesome photo of a very tiny dinosaur (from Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi) feeling very big!
I love how the lighting and short depth of field makes a simple scene very epic. And now I want to eat cookies.
But you don’t have to do fancy photo effects to make a great entry for our bunny contest. We’re looking for creativity and fun more than a professional-looking photo.
See our full contest details on how to enter and maybe win lots of beautiful Koigu yarn!
Sushi Earrings
You’ve probably never asked yourself, “Does this sushi match my eyes?” Mutterpagh in Denmark did just that when she made some fashion-forward earrings out of the Tiny Ebi and Tiny Maki from the Sushi Bar Set!
She made them for a meeting of the Danish Knitters’ Association, for which everyone was challenged to wear knitted jewelry. I have to assume that hers really stood out!
Of course, if these sushi earrings were Tiny Baby Bunny earrings, they would make a great entry in our ongoing contest! But you can still add your photos of any Mochimochi projects to the Flickr group, and they will automatically be entered in our next general photo contest.
Tiny Narwhals Lend a Horn
On Friday I asked what a tiny narwhal uses his awesome horn for. So many of you gave fantastic answers in the comments that we have FIVE winners this week!
From Mandy: Tiny Narwhal used his horn to conduct the tiny undersea orchestra. He keeps them in rythym so the tiny mermaids can dance.
From Sophia: Tiny Narwhal is quite the political animal… He uses his horn to hold up his Occupy Tiny Ice Floe sign! (He’s protesting against all the rich penguins in tuxedos…)
From Diana: Narly Narwhal loved using his horn every morning to help hold the center of the shoelace bows for his pals the Octopi.
From Emma: Tiny Narwhal rents himself out at Tiny Fish birthday parties as a moving sea-horseshoe target.
and from Lexi: When a Mommy narwhal and a Daddy narwhal love each other very much, they get together and knit a baby narwhal.
These five narwal experts each win the pattern for Plinky and Plunky—way to go! (I’m having some issues with my email program, so please let me know if you’re a winner and you didn’t get the pattern.)
Of course, I have firsthand access to the tiny narwhal himself, and he revealed to me that on weekends tiny narwhals pair up and play Chopsticks on Plinky.
Thank you to everyone for the tiny narwhal captions!
