Have been working hard on some teeny tiny knitted ornaments for gifts this year…like this new friend.
He says Hello.
More tiny knitted things… this time a Banana, Pear, and Pineapple. Eventually I’d like to make a whole teeny bowl of fruit. What next…?

Hello, Teeny Tiny Bunny! Nice to knit/meet you
A Valentines Fairy Tale
There once was a lovely but lonely Mermaid. Eventually a nice Gnome came wandering by. He had a candy heart to share. Although she really liked this one cool squid, he was off chasing tuna all the time. So she thought, hmm… better than nothing.
~The End~
(These two adorable knitted friends were made from the book Teeny Tiny Mochimochi by Anna Hrachovec)
I totally just remembered that I *forgot* to get back here and share info about Teddy P Bearington the 3rd’s (Teddy for short) Christmas present that I made him.
It was my first time knitting a wearable gift for a furry friend. I didn’t follow a pattern, just kind of went with not so much a sweater idea (because he kind of hates anything going over his head) so I went with a little blanket that kind of snugged around him.
I took some measurements and then got busy. It only took a couple nights and of course had a “stand-in” to try on the Canine Cozy as I went in the form of my cat Salem
{He’s gonna be so mad I put his picture on here, because he’s a former alley cat turned creme puff couch surfer - just don’t tell his old boyz from the ‘hood, k?}
So Christmas came (and went) and though Teddy was more excited for the chew I stuck in the folded up sweater than the sweater, the next morning I took him and T-Boy out for a walk to try it.
I would say it was a success. I especially love the little white heart embelishment on his rump!
A little while back I was searching for something to spice up my gift giving and maybe try some holiday knitting. Then one day I found this nice blog called Little Cotton Rabbits {too cute of a name!} and the lovely free pattern for small stockings.
I used size 8 needles and odds and ends of yarn, they turned out a bit bigger than the pattern intends, either way I am happy with my simple stockings…
Which I was able to fill with assorted kisses and mint candies, chocolates and even perfect size to stick in a Starbucks gift cart!
Merry Crafts-Mass!
