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!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
