Bookish Thursday: Super Size Mine Please!
I was recently sent a copy of Huge & Huggable Mochimochi: 20 Supersized Patterns for Big Knitted Friends by Anna Hrachovec.
And like all of Anna’s other books I LOVE it!
So many fun designs, and as usual; easy to follow patterns!
My kids have already requested items to be knit for them!
I think they might want this one to get out of really doing their handwriting practice!
If you like adorable creatures and inanimate objects brought to life in a cute and bigger than life version..then this book is for you.
As for me.. I am making myself one of these guys…

Just got this interesting bit of news:
You can get a lot of yarn at Knit Picks for $25 and free needles to boot! If you haven’t tried their yarn this would be an excellent time to start!! I highly recommend their Wool of the Andes worsted weight! It’s very nice!
