Time to squee-ze out a few more waves of summer fun:
Use code SUMMERSQUEE19 for 20% off all PDF patterns, kits, books, and needles in the Mochimochi Shop.
Now’s the time to stock up on fall knitting projects, or do a little early holiday shopping for your fellow knitters.
This code is good through September 2nd.
Just in time for the hottest days of summer, Cozy Squozy Cats are ready to be knit by you!
These pocket-sized cats are the purfect fit for their containers: knit a cat in a box 📦, a cat in a life preserver 🍩, a cat in a bag 👜, and (because cats are weird) a cat in a corset 🥜!
They’re just as cute outside of their containers, too!
The intermediate-level pattern collection is now available as a download in the Mochimochi Shop or via Ravelry.
Plus, box cat, bag cat, and life preserver cat are also available as kits! Each comes with a pattern and enough yarn and stuffing to make one cozy cat. 🧶
As Soupy will tell you, July is an excellent month for getting cozy.
(For the record, this is NOT the yarn that goes in the kits!)
More cozy cat GIFs are coming soon—watch for them on Instagram!
Want to know what the mystery preview kits from May were?
They were cats! Cats inside things!
I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to sit on this secret—these are seriously some of my favorite tiny knitted things ever. THANK YOU to everyone who took a chance on a little mystery—I hope you were happy with the surprise!
The cozy cat kits will be available in the Mochimochi Shop soon, but for now you can get them from a few local yarn stores: StevenBe in Minneapolis has a few, Yarn Social in Kansas City and Yarnify in Chicago all have some as of this writing. If you’d like to see them in your LYS, ask them to please get in touch!
Mystery preview kits are back all this month!
Through May 31st, buy any two kits from the Mochimochi Shop and you’ll automatically receive a mystery preview kit for free!*
Buy four kits, and get two DIFFERENT mystery kits for free! Buy six kits, and ALL THREE MYSTERIES will be revealed to you. For free!
And this year for the first time, you have the option to buy the set of all three mystery preview kits directly, right now!
What is a mystery preview kit? It’s a kit containing the pattern, yarn, and stuffing for an all-new tiny design. These are new, intermediate-level patterns that aren’t available anywhere else right now! You’ll just need a set of size 1 double-pointed needles and a tapestry needle to get started.
Please note that the mystery kits AUTOMATICALLY COME FREE with a purchase of at least 2 kits (or 2 books, or one kit and one book) through May 31—there’s no need to add them to your cart.
This is a great time to stock up on kits for summer vacation knitting, or holiday gifts. There are so many tiny kits to choose from!
Want a hint? This year’s mysteries are basically the polar (or paw-lar) opposite of last year’s mystery kits. Honestly, they’re already up there with my all-time favorite Mochimochi Land designs.
When you receive yours, please keep it hush-hush if you can, so we can preserve the mystery through the end of the month!
(And of course, later this year the mystery kits will be unveiled and available individually.)
* Automatically means you don’t have to add it to your cart—we will be including the mystery kits with all kit orders of 2 or more.
Bunny knitting season is here!
Through May 1st, use code SHOPHOPHOP for 25% off these springtime patterns:
🎩 Abracadabbit (A bunny with a magic hat!)
🐰 Ninjabun (A bunny that disguises himself as a carrot!)
🐥 Which Came First? (A reversible chick and egg!)
🥚 Tiny Hatchlings (Just-born tiny gosling, chick, and bluebird with eggs and shells)
And of course, patterns for Tiny Baby Bunnies and Grass (yes, grass!) are always free!
Happy springtime knitting!
I’m excited to announce that Mochimochi Land is coming to YarnCon, the Chicago indie fiber fair, April 6th and 7th!
A big slice of Mochimochi Land itself will be there (with plenty of updates and surprises), along with kits for sale at a special discount, books, and other goodies. And YarnCon’s marketplace is free to enter, so I hope to see lots of my Chicago neighbors there!
More info at the YarnCon website.
The best way to catch a leprechaun is to knit one yourself!
Make March magical by knitting a tiny leprechaun, tiny pot o’ gold, tiny rainbow, and a rather normal-sized four-leaf clover for St. Patricks Day or just for a little luck! So gather your scraps of green yarn and celebrate the imminent-ness of spring!
The pattern collection is available as a $5 download in the Mochimochi Shop and also via Ravelry.
There are no rules in Mochimochi Land, so clothing is optional!
(If your personal pot of gold isn’t quite full, you can always find the clover pattern for free. And if you have a copy of my book Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, there’s an earlier version of the tiny rainbow pattern in there!)
Thanks to Marilyn for tech editing and Amanda for testing!
