Big news today about tiny kits!

First, it’s time for another free mystery kit special! Now through May 27th, everyone who purchases two kits and/or books from the Mochimochi Shop will get one of these mystery kits for free.

These are all-new designs with patterns that aren’t in any pattern collections or books yet. All I can reveal is that they’re all animals… and they’re all adorable!

Order two kits and/or books from the Mochimochi Shop, and a randomly-selected mystery kit will automatically be sent with your order. (You don’t have to add it to your shopping cart.) Order four kits/books, and two different mystery kits are yours. Order six kits/books, and all will be revealed to you.

Once the mystery kit special is over, these kits won’t be available in the shop again until later this year. So don’t miss out, especially if you love a good mystery…

Plus! By popular demand, the much-anticipated tiny gnome kit is finally here!

This kit comes with a pattern and enough Cascade Heritage yarn and stuffing to knit up three tiny gnomes. (That’s the minimum number required for a gnome kick line.)

If you know a knitting gnome lover who lacks the right colors, this is just the thing! (It’s also great for travel knitting.)

It’s now available for $12 in the Mochimochi Shop! (And yes, we ship internationally.)

Last week it was Gnomes vs Snowmen at Vogue Knitting Live in Seattle. This week, The Wooly Woods at Pictoplasma in Berlin!

If you’re in Berlin, please stop by smallspace gallery through this Sunday (April 14th) to see my new solo show. This was a huge project for me, and I’m so happy with how it turned out (not to mention the fact that all these branches arrived intact). You can read a bit more about it in my earlier blog post.

There are many more fun character art shows going on for the Pictoplasma Festival, all free and open to everyone.

And join me this Saturday at Platoon for a monster knitting workshop. Bring yarn of any kind and a set of double-pointed needles. All experienced knitters are welcome!

More photos coming soon…

Announcing our new springtime pattern!

Tiny Hatchlings are just-born baby birds who will fly off your needles in no time! Tiny bluebird, chick, and gosling are quick to knit up and make the sweetest Easter basket stuffers. The pattern also includes instructions for three whole eggs, so you can have a handmade egg hunt too!

The pattern is now available as a PDF download for $5 in the Mochimochi Shop.

Sparks are flying in Mochimochi Land, because these guys are nuts and bolts for each other! (You like the puns, yes? I have so many more!)

Luvbots is the newest pattern to hit the Mochimochi Shop, and knitting up a pair for your sweetie is the perfect way to say “you auto-complete me.” (I wasn’t kidding about the puns, you see.)

The design incorporates knitting in the round, stranded color knitting, and a bit of mattress stitch for a fun project that knits up in a couple of days. Instructions for a stand-alone heart are also included.

The pattern is now available as a PDF download for $6 in the Mochimochi Shop!
