All the teenies are knitted from patterns in a book called "Teeny tiny Mochimochi" by Anna Hrachovec.
I'm afraid I knit purely for my own entertainment and don't take commissions, sorry.
But I love showing off, so thanks for the compliments, folks!

They are sooo cool.
Wonderful to have a hobby you love that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and small enough to take with you. I don't know if they'd let you take the needles on a plane, though?

Because who is John Galt? I had to fix my own god damned weed whacker, small engine repair is one of those things I am theoretically more than happy to let the other guy make a living at, but alas, no.

So I got the fucker completely apart and back together and it runs. But I still can't find the shoulder strap (or the parts to make one) so I still can't whack weeds.

Fixed the leaky faucet upstairs and de-calcified both toilets. Also repaired son's fan and one of the fluorescent lights in the basement got a new plug.

Mr. Fixit.

Limey, the pics you've been posting are amazing and gorgeous! My stupid post-hyperbaric therapy vision would never let me make anything so beautiful. Please keep posting pics!

I bet you could make scads of cash at the right craft festival.
Do you put magnets inside of them?

Jim - for me, knitting is like sex. If I love you it's free, but if not you can't afford it! (Apart from the Sticky Willies, that is).
I originally got the pattern book with the intention of putting little magnets in the figures, but started knitting the figures last week when I was making a new batch of Willies and ran out of magnets, because I'd got a taste for knitting on that scale. For me part of the appeal is that they are totally useless.

I get that. Jinx was of the same mind regarding photography. I just meant that they are desirable. Useless, but I still want one.

Just... It could be a beanie baby type fad and you'd be stupid rich.

Are they all from patterns, or do you create them from scratch? Can you do a little cock? Rooster, that is.
