Tiny Mermaid

Winning caption by Carrie:

No, she does NOT want to go out for sushi, thank you very much.

Maybe you have spotted this watery creature in the pages of Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi?

Tiny Mermaid wouldn’t dream of growing legs and walking on land. But why is she so excited about life in the sea? Leave your caption in the comments, and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday!

The winner will get a free PDF pattern for Puppet Love!

To those in the path of Hurricane Irene: stay safe this weekend!

Tiny Cupcake

Surely the cupcake trend isn’t quite over until we all have a chance to knit up a batch of miniature ones?

I’m pleased to say that the pattern for Tiny Cupcakes is included in the just-released Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi!

In lieu of a caption contest this week, I’m going to point you all in the direction of the Bittersweet Blog, where Hannah, one of my trusted test knitters and creator of gourmet vegan desserts, is doing a giveaway of my new book! She also shares her beautiful photos of her versions of the foodie projects in Teeny-Tiny. Here’s her take on the cupcake:

Adorable! (Hungry yet?)

You have until next Wednesday to leave a Tiny suggestion in the comments on Hannah’s blog post for a chance to win the book.

Tiny Totem Pole

I couldn’t get a Tiny Totem Pole off my mind this week for some reason! You’ve got to feel a little sorry for the guy on the bottom….

No caption contest this weekend, but I would love to hear what you would put on your totem pole. Tell us in the comments!

Tiny Traffic Cone

Winning caption by Emi:
Does this stripe make me look fat??

tinytrafficcone

This little guy has a very dangerous job! He’s often taken for granted, but I thought you readers could give him a little support by offering up some cute captions for him. Leave your caption in the comments to this post, and we’ll choose our favorite on Monday!

The winner will get a PDF pattern for something else very orange… Stackable Cats!

Tiny Princess

Winning caption by Jan:
Tiny Princess is keeping herself busy taking photos with her new camera while she’s waiting for her tiny prints to develop.

To add to the category of miniature people with cone-shaped hats (see Tiny Gnome and Tiny Wizard)…

tinyprincess

… it’s Tiny Princess!

As Tiny Princesses do, this one is waiting for her Tiny Prince to come. But she has to keep occupied in the meantime, right?

Tell us what Tiny Princess is up to in her spare time in the captions, and we’ll pick a favorite on Monday! The winner this time will get the PDF pattern for Flushie, the friendliest knitted throne!

Tiny Island

Who says you can’t be an island?

Soon you’ll be able to make a Tiny Island of your own—this one’s going to be in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi! It’s coming out in just a few weeks! (I’ll also be previewing the actual photos from the book soon.)

No caption contest today, but we’ll get back to those next week. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Tiny Skunk

Lookout!

tinyskunk

A knitted skunk is probably pretty safe, but maybe we shouldn’t take any chances. And I just realized that I forgot to give him a nose… maybe for the better as far as he’s concerned?

I’m traveling this weekend, so there won’t be a caption contest, but please leave yours in the comments anyway if you smell something funny!

Tiny Pineapple

tinypineapple

Winning caption by Gulnoza:

Grilled, mashed, baked, conserved,
Dried, fried, sliced or preserved,
Tiny Piney can do them all,
Even though he’s oh-so small!

As we all know, a Tiny Pineapple neither comes from a tiny pine tree nor is related to a tiny apple. So where did this peculiar tiny fruit come from?

Leave your caption in the comments to this post, and we’ll pick our favorite on Monday. The winner will get a free PDF pattern for Uh-Ohs, a Mochimochi Land classic!
