"Absolutely loved this pattern, so much so I am doing another one"

"I love where the pattern says (the boring stuff (read it, anyway!). This pattern is not only easy to follow, it is filled with lots of tips, tricks, and advice that would be helpful to anyone, especially those new to knitting socks. I found it very amusing to read. I am looking forward to making them."

"These are really cute boots and I would love to try them, but the pattern is confusing me because it isnt clear as to whether we use straight needles, circular needles, or double pointed needles. Some of the sections say to turn and some of them dont. They are seemed together, so I am assuming straight needles would be ok. Clarification would be very helpful."

"I have noticed that the yarn weight is missing from this pattern. It should say #4 worsted. I use phentex slipper and craft yarn to make mine more durable."

"You can never have enough knit dish cloths, and I love how unique this one is. Dish cloths are fast to make, so they are great for gift giving too. I used to make my grandmother a bunch of them a couple of times a year. She liked to take them to the cottage with her. This pattern looks like it will be a fun one."

Talented knitting designer Anna Hrachovec delivers cute and quirky creations, yet again, with her latest release: Super-Scary Mochimochi: 20+ Cute & Creepy Creatures To Knit.  While described as super-scary, these little knit critters are nothing short of adorable.  From the classic monsters like the teenage werewolf (p. 53), to the unexpected toaster ghost (p. 106), this group of more than 20 patterns is a must-have book for knitters who appreciate Hrachovec's creative imagination.  While it's challenging to pick a favorite — Hrachovec's patterns each top the design featured previously as you turn the pages, delving deeper into her imagination —  the Sour Tooth (p.89) definitely makes it to my top three.  After all, who could resist a giant tooth, with baby teeth, holding a lollipop? 

 

Aside from the eccentric designs already created by Hrachovec, don't think the fun ends there.  Once the reader gets a feel for knitting up itty bitty monsters, Hrachovec lets you invent your own minions with the Mix 'n' Match monsters section starting on p. 110.  Here you'll be able to pick and choose your favorite features from each of the monsters and make your own unique, super-scary critter companion. 

 

The verdict: Highly recommended, especially if you're a fan of author Anna Hrachovec's previous work.

Hard to say as I can't get past an ad for an obnoxious search engine.
