Liaison
Gwen has proven to be a very adept tentacle wrangler. Relations between the townsfolk and the tentacled overlords are sure to improve now that she's acting as liaison between groups involved. Should you find yourself in need of your own penguin assistant, the pattern for our little friend should be out next week!
Social conditioning
The gentleman who pulled over to ask what I was taking pictures of was VERY confused when I held this up on my palm, smiled real big, and exclaimed 'TENTACLES!' with a maniacal gleam in my eye. This level of frankness and unvarnished enthusiasm is part of my ongoing project to: a) answer exactly the question that was asked b) do the stuff I like doing as long as it's not hurting anyone else c) not apologize for things that don't need to be apologized for d) not over explain things to strangers Now I'll be honest, this is often [...]
Trouble
Oh. Oh dear. Oh dear I suspected there might be trouble. I hope the lighthouse keeper is ok...
Reproduce
Oh...oh dear...I think they might be learning to work together. I fear they might be learning to knit. Which, ok fine. I suppose every organism finds a way to reproduce itself. If you want to do your part to increase the population of tentacles, the pattern is out and it's called Gripping (and if you want someone to put together all the various bits and pieces for them all in one tidy little package, Little Skein Anne has absolutely marvelous kits that do just that). But I do have some qualms about the knitting learning to knit. Because really, if [...]
Gripping
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 [...]
Better or worse?
Is tentacles in pointy hats better or worse than tentacles with potions? I mean like from a safety and security angle. To be frank, they both seem to pose certain risks. Though I have to admire the dedication to hat wearing in creatures that don't, strictly speaking, have heads. It's impressive! The tentacle pattern should be out early next week, so this seems like a good time to remind folks about my Community Supported Pattern program. I know not everyone has room in their budget for little indulgences right now, so I always make a handful of copies available for [...]
Appropriate precautions
Oh...oh no...the tentacles have gotten into the potions. There's no telling where this will lead. You may wish to take appropriate precautions. I'm not strictly sure what such precautions would be mind you. But I feel a certain level of concern is warranted. Our squirmy friends should make landfall next week. You know what to do if you want to hear when they arrive, and @littleskeinanne is working on something special, should you wish to welcome them into your home but not feel quite up to the task of sourcing the materials yourself. In the meantime, I think perhaps I'll [...]
Rumblings
I've heard rumblings from the deep. Mysterious rumblings. Possibly even portentous. I suspect something may be awakening down there. Someone should probably keep an eye on that. I'll check on this side of the sea, and I have a sneaking suspicion Little Skein Anne might be convinced to check on her side. I bet between us, we can manage the menace... Though should you wish to join the tentacle management team, we'd welcome the help. You never know when things will get out of hand.
