Sockthulhu!

Sockthulhu

- his diet consists mostly of squirrels, chunky bars, and the souls of the damned

From Kadath in the Cold Waste (via Ecto) comes Sockthulhu! Loathesomely tattooed over his squamous hide with the polychromatic, crawling patterns of Nordic knitwear, Sockthulhu is invulnerable to the brutal winter conditions, utterly unafraid of Ithaqua the Windwalker, and completely machine-washable!

    That makes me want to get all crafty. But as usual, I should be doing work now, and not thinking about the squid I could sew. (If I even had such squid-sewing skills.)

    Once more, I am enjoying your use of tags. “Plush,” “horror,” and “Allegory” seem a particularly appealing (and infrequent) combination.

    I’m all about the ironic juxtaposition of tags… well, that and Cthulhu crafts.

    Pink buttons for eyes completes his malevolence.

    With the lurid slime green, it totally makes the look, don’t you think?

    It’s horrifying, certainly, but I can’t help the nagging suspicion that it might not be exactly what Lovecraft imagined…

    The perfect stocking stuffer gift! Stuffed full of souls, that is.

    Well put, strange.

    Bobby: Few people know, but Lovecraft was an avid four-needle Fair Isle specialist. Robert Bloch still has some of the sweaters he gave him with the “Crawling Chaos” cable stitch!

    But cosy and practical! Careful, TT; don’t go near the beach for a few days if you know what’s good for you!

    That’s supposed to be horrifying? My mum sends me sweaters made from its skin!

    She wouldn’t do that: he’s not Catholic!

    Have you see this? Or the variety of other squiddily stuff that site?

    I have now. I know Squid.us…I thought they were dead, it had been so long since they updated! Thanks for that!

    Somewhere in Utah an ultra secret religious sect is forming.
