Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi Book Giveaway

It's no secret that I am huge fan of Anna Hrachovec's work. Last week was the release of her second book, Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi. The idea for this book started from her blog. She made it a personal challenge to design a new tiny toy every day for a month in 2009. But it didn't end there. She has kept it going and it has been so much fun seeing what she comes up with every week.

The book has over 40 itty-bitty toys to knit, wear and to give. The projects are quick to knit up and super adorable. Although the toys uses fingering weight yarn, it can be made with any weight yarn. Last year, I test knitted one of her tiny collections and they still came out very cute with worsted weight yarn.

Besides the cuteness, Anna's clever construction techniques is another reason you should try her patterns. Just like her first book, she has included "Toy Techniques" in the beginning of the book. It has step-by-step instructions and photographs to ensure that your toys will come out perfectly.

The following pictures are some of my favorite projects from the book. It was hard to choose, so I had Melody pick them out. She has been obsessively flipping through the book picking the projects she wants me to make. I can't wait until she is old enough so I can teach her to knit.

All photos are from the book, Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi.
