Great Old One

So the army of cthulhus I made was obviously inadequate, because I felt the need to make yet another.  This was not entirely my idea; a friend was making a scarf out of Lion Brand Fun Fur in white.  She threw the leftover at me and said to make something to make her laugh.  The clear choice was to make a cthulhu out of it, so I did.

Following the same pattern, same hook, same everything, just with Fun Fur for the head (I switched to a thin red yarn for the body and hood I added).  In hindsight, I probably should have just done the tentacles in the Fun Fur, but then I wouldn't have a puff-ball of an Old One hanging about.

He's adorable, gathered a lot of attention and laughs and was frustrating like nothing else to make.  The fur kept getting tangled and in the way and just generally knotted an obnoxious, but it was worth it in the end.  Working on this project actually inspired me to use yellow fur in the future to make a Lorax.  Time will tell, however.  As of yet, I've been unable to find it in yellow.
