Our Tentacled Overlords have made landfall. Please remain calm. Local authorities are aware of the situation and will update you as soon as more information is available.

In the meantime, should you wish to knit a small tentacle of your own, either as a welcoming gesture to our new Overlords or as a ward against the grasping horror of the deep, I’ve got you covered. Gripping is out on both ravelry and payhip, and the code TENTACLE will take 15% off in either place through Friday (and of course, Rampant Nonsense patrons get the pattern for free as part of their membership).

Though I feel I must warn you, it’s unexpectedly difficult to knit just one. And when you get enough of them together in one place, they seem to get a bit…fractious. I believe they may have a plan. You’ve been warned!

Oh, and should you find yourself wishing to knit an entire swarm of tentacles, Little Skein, one of my very favorite dyers and an all around excellent human being, has put together absolutely amazing kits with everything you need to make these. They’re going live later this morning, and they are a marvel to behold!
