9/6/2011 - Contest is over! We'll contact & announce the winners soon!
I am so excited! One of my all time favorite designers, Anna Hrachovec, has a new book out!
As many folks know, I've been a fan of Anna Hrachovec's cute creatures for a long time now. And for the past year, she's been doing a weekly post of Tiny Things on her blog....and now there's a whole book of her Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi!
This book is so adorable - Anna has such an eye for detail and that's what makes her Tinys so cute. And so creative! There are things like a record player, a volcano and even an island!
My favorites are definetly the animals. Last night, I dug into my stash of Palette (which is perfect for these guys - many of the patterns in the book use it in fact!) and I whipped up a couple of Tinys!
I loved the Tiny Lion so I needed one for myself
He's frolicking among some balls of Palette to give you an idea of scale.
I did a Tiny Chicken too - he looks a bit like an Angry Chicken though!
He's a tough lil' guy.
Each only took an hour to make & were very fun. I had to keep them away from my cat though, who thought they were new toys for her to play with.
So are you as excited for Teeny Tiny Mochimochi as we are? Potter Craft kindly provided us with a few copies of the book to give away so we thought we'd hold another blog contest! And for the grand prize, we decided to sweeten the deal with a rainbow of Palette so you can make tons of Tinys!
For a chance to win the grand prize of a book & Palette selection, or one of 4 runner up prizes of a copy of the book, simply leave a comment on this post! That's it! Since we have a long weekend ahead of us, we're going to leave this open until Tuesday September 6th at 8am and we'll announce the winners soon after. Good luck everyone!
Rules: One entry per person. Must have a US or Canada mailing address. No purchase necessary. All comments must be posted on THIS blog post. Comments on other blog posts will not be valid for this contest.

Sep 5, 2011 at 7:50 PM these would make great soft jewelry!
Sep 5, 2011 at 7:23 PM I love amigurumi and miniatures. This combines both. They would make good ornaments or little toys to keep around for little visitors. They are very cute!

Sep 5, 2011 at 7:06 PM So adorable! Love that tough-lookin' chicken!

Sep 5, 2011 at 3:21 PM Still working my way through Knitting Mochimochi. These look like great fun.
Sep 5, 2011 at 2:48 PM Those are SO CUTE. I need to fill my apartment with them right now.
Sep 5, 2011 at 2:48 PM They are so cute. I would love to try to make these tiny tinny fun creatures. I have never seen these before now. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Sep 5, 2011 at 2:44 PM Oh! That's absolutely cute!!!
Sep 5, 2011 at 2:29 PM These would be so fun to make for my grandkids! They are always wanting something like these, so to win this book would be great! Thank you for running the contest.

Sep 5, 2011 at 11:24 AM Thank you for this fun contest!
Sep 5, 2011 at 11:23 AM I've never seen these- how adorable!
Sep 5, 2011 at 11:10 AM I LOVE amigurumi, and i love tiny things, especially food (real or knitted). I am definitely going to check out this book!!!
Sep 5, 2011 at 10:38 AM I have used Knit Picks sock yarns to knot timy mochimochis before so I'm crossing my fingers. With that much Palette you could shower everyone you know with cuteness!
Sep 5, 2011 at 10:09 AM Thanks for the link to the website. These are sooooo cute!
Sep 5, 2011 at 10:02 AM Teeny-tiny critters and palette - I'm game!
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:36 AM I've been waiting for this book to come out! & I love Palette -- what a great combo!
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:28 AM Is that a teeny tiny hot dog on the cover? How cute! Would love to win. Thank you.
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:21 AM These would make a great crib mobile for my soon to be born grandchild!
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:07 AM Oh, they are so adorable! I would love to knit some! Besides cuteness, there's something to be said for instant gratification :-)
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:01 AM How adorable! Perfect Palette Pocket Pets.
Sep 5, 2011 at 9:00 AM I've been eyeing that book! Would love to win this prize.
Sep 5, 2011 at 8:50 AM Full of fun projects that I can actually finish! Love them.
Sep 5, 2011 at 8:34 AM I am in love with these guys. Just the thing to hide in someone's suitcase as they go on a trip, or stash in a medicine cabinet while you visiting, and make them smile afterwards.
Sep 5, 2011 at 6:37 AM What a cute book and that yarn! Thanks for the opportunity! Shannon skyeaton@insightbb.com
Sep 5, 2011 at 6:31 AM The Teeny Tiny Mochimochi are so cute! The colors of the Palette yarn are beautiful. They will make some cute looking critters.
Sep 5, 2011 at 6:00 AM Think you should knit teeny tiny Harley to go with the chicken............he kind of looks like a biker dude :)
Sep 5, 2011 at 5:00 AM Totally cute, count me in.
Sep 5, 2011 at 4:39 AM I've never tried to make anything so small. It would be neat to make some of the mochimochies. They are very cute, very cute indeed. I could hide them about the house and have people over over to see how many they can find. Thank you for sharing about these books. If I don't win, I'll have to look for the books. Too cute to pass up.
