Tiny clown hopes to replace Ronald McDonald as the new representative for a diet conscious mcworld with the slogan “super downsize me!”.

That winning caption is by Tracey! For her clever mission that she’s sending Tiny Clown on, she wins this adorable alien tape measure from Tomo and Timo!

Tiny Cupids Cause a Heart-Storm

Did you know that Tiny Angels like to play cupid sometimes? Knitjvf demonstrates this perfectly with some adorable cupids on a cloud!

She removed the cherub’s halo and added an I-cord bow to complete the cupid look.

And the cloud? I do believe it’s Rainycloud paired with the free pattern for Hearts!

Tiny Beet is Snubbed

We asked for your tiny beet puns in Friday’s caption contest, and boy did we get them! Our favorite caption used an unexpected pun that stole our heart…

No one wants to talk to tiny beet – he’s such a borscht.

Poor tiny beet! But great caption from Gwen, who wins the PDF pattern for Hugs + Squoze for her contribution. Yay!

If you have a tiny beet in your life, be sure to remember them this Valentine’s Day!

Flower and Buddy

I love it when a knitter starts with one of my patterns and takes it in a completely original direction, and I have a perfect example today! Soyaspade took the Pocket Protectors from Knitting Mochimochi

…and turned her version into Flower and Buddy, creatures who look like they sprang up from a magical garden!

The leaf pattern that she used is from Natural Suburbia, and this beautiful flower is from Lesley Stanfield’s book 100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet.

High-Fiber Sushi

Lately I’ve been spotting various knitted sushi popping up on Ravelry and in the Flickr group! Getting to see all the adorable variations is just another reason why I love designing cute little stuff instead of sweaters. (Also, less math!)

I can always count on Hannah of BitterSweet to photograph knitted food in the most delectable way.

Hannah has also been testing patterns for me for several years now, and so her gorgeous photos are like an extra bonus that comes with her pattern feedback.

I’ve gushed about Hannah’s blog before, where her amazing photos are more often than not accompanied by a vegan recipe. Definitely check it out!

A big thank-you to Hannah for the pattern testing, and just as big of thank-yous to Marianne, Marti, and Mary too!

Tiny Swedish Chef

Australian knitter Renee modified the Tiny Chef pattern to give him a Muppet-y flavor!

Amazing what a little carefully placed embroidery will do, right? I love it!

Tiny Fairy can Handle the Tooth

Our Tiny Fairy may not convince everyone of her existence, but there’s at least one fairy job that she’s a pro at…

tinyfairy_tooth

Periwinkle Sparkletoes
Fluttering on by your snoring nose
Hither and thether
Light as a feather
She sneaks a quick kiss on your cheek
And takes off with your teeth!
But don’t worry my good fellow
There’s money under your pillow!

Thank you to Amanda for that beautiful poem-caption!

For her way with words, Amanda wins this adorable tape measure from Tomo and Timo!
