Or should that be some yarn ripping?
Anyway, as a change from printmaking, I've finally taught myself to crochet, in an effort to fulfil the other half's request that I make him the cutesy Cthulhu from this book, which
el_maraca bought for me last year.

So far I've managed what appears to be a Pacman ghost, a pig on wheels and a stack of octopodes. The wee octopodes are an absolute joy to make, thanks to this pattern.
I shall probably post progressive iterations of octopus on my pinterest, but watch this space. Anyone who would like one: specify preferred colour and I'll see what I can do. Prising them out of the hobbit's hairy paws is proving difficult at the moment, however!

As with all surprise new additions to a family, this means now I have to think of a name.
