24DOK Day 11: These Won't Melt in Your Hand...


In honor of the newest member of the MochiMochiLand Family todays pattern is by Anna Hrachovec who's newborn son arrived this week.


Congratulations on your new little bundle!
He's going to love all your little mochimochis as much as the rest of us.

Last year, I spent Christmas in Naples, Florida at my mom's house.

A balmy 75 degrees at Christmas is actually quite wonderful, but having spent a number of years in Minnesota snow at Christmas makes it extra special.

How do you get snowmen in Florida?

Well, you purchase the Mochimochi Snowman pattern and get down to business.

Until you add the eyes arms and the wee tiny knit scarves they look like packing peanuts, but once they come together, prepare yourself for the giggles because every time I finished one I giggled like a goose.

It's late. I've never heard a goose giggle but I'm sure it's wonderful.

You can make little snowmen.
You can make medium size snowmen.
You can make a jumbo snowman.

Change the yarn weight, change the size, just remember to keep the needle size a couple sizes below the recommended size for the yarn to keep the stitches tight and the stuffing where it belongs.

Stuffing... I love Thanksgiving stuffing.

I told you it was late.

I made a bunch of these last year as a surprise for my mom on Christmas Morning.


She loved them.

These would make great ornaments for a tree.
Sweet little favors on packages wrapped up with string... (are you singing it now, I am)
How fun would it be for a favorite niece, nephew, or favorite child to open a box of knit up little snowmen?

Heck, I'd fall to the floor in a heap of delight if I got a box of knit snowmen.

Giggling like that darn goose.

Happy Friday Night!!
Welcome to the weekend!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
