KITTEN

[jwgh]

For some reason all the kitten patterns I'm finding are crocheted, which does not work with the song lyrics AT ALL. I will look some more in the morning.

Holy cow look at these things: http://www.knittingatknoon.com/FSprehistoricpals.html

Squidtastic!

OH EM EFF GEE> Those are goddamn adorable! Look at their little feets! And the t-rexes' toothy smiles! AWWWWW

[chaos-are-me.livejournal.com]

Fortune cats are hilarious, but that little tiny kitten is ideal, especially if it were to, say, have eyes. No mouth, just eyes. AWWWWW

Wow, that little kitten looks like something *i* could knit.

ADD TO CART

Exactly! Sounds perfect. Maybe even knit with slightly fuzzy angora.

[chaos-are-me.livejournal.com]

That is pretty much genius.

[christychristy.livejournal.com]

ha. love it!

Also, I have not forgotten that the squid's official name is 'Scuffbert the Squid'.

The triceratops rules. You should make him.
Also, if you make a kitten, give him tentacles. Why not?

[jwgh]

I made a triceratops of my own design a while back:



but I like the idea of making one using variegated yarn. Hmm.

Isn't a cat with tentacles a displacer beast?

[sanspoof.livejournal.com]

I remember, but the one you lunk before seems a little different proportionally. Maybe primarily it's larger?

Hm, yeah, but aren't the tentacles coming off of its back or something? I can't decide if that's fun or not. I suppose if it's small and stubby enough, it would be.

Cool squid! Where did you find the pattern?

[jwgh]

In mine the tail, body, and head is all one piece, but I don't think that's true of the linked one. Also I think the one I linked to has a more egg-shaped body and is cuter. (I was never entirely happy with the one I made.)

Maybe I should just start putting tentacles on everything I knit. Why not?

[jwgh]

I found it through Ravelry, but the designer has all kinds of amazing patterns in her online store.
