"What an awesome collection of kitchen and dining room knitting patterns. I saw a couple that I liked when I scrolled through and will check them out later, but I am most interested in the patterns for the cozy section and especially the wine bottle cozy that looked like a little sweater."

"I keep my dpns in a couple of ice cube trays -- the kind that makes long skinny icecubes for water bottles. I made a wall hanging for all my circulars, each size has its own slot. And a pocket in the back."

"I tried this pattern three times and could not get the shell effect. I started with 70 stitches but then ended up with 50 after I finished the four rows. What am I doing wrong?"

"I love finding patterns that are presented in a collection or group that has a lot of variety in it. I love how they are usually categorized in easy to find types from easy to more detailed and from quick to more labor intensive. This is one that I will be saving to reference back to in the future. Thanks."

"A great collection of knitting projects with a variety of items and a variety of time needed to complete the project included. From easy and quick to make to more detailed projects, I see several that I am interested in making already. I cant wait to begin and to share with my friends."

Super-Scary Mochimochi: 20+ Cute & Creepy Creatures To Knit

Super-Scary Mochimochi: 20+ Cute & Creepy Creatures To Knit

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.
