While I did choose the house of Monkey I don’t think a monkey could be my mascot. No offense to the monkeys.
My mascot is an octopus. First of all he has 8 arms. Imagine all the knitting I could do if I had EIGHT arms. I would be knitting sweaters in a week. He is blue. Blue is my favorite color. Who doesn’t love a blue mascot? He squirts ink! I love ink. The squirting is really cool but it is also a superb defense mechanism which makes him even cooler. And this octopus is even cooler because he is a crochet one. I made him in an evening and he is very well loved by the 5 year old. He has no mouth so he will not drive me crazy with needless chatter (I have two VERY talkative people living with me, and while I adore them to the moon and back, a little less conversation, please).
So there you have it, I already have a mascot and while I do not own him, I think he rocks.
That is SO cute! I’m a huge fan of amigurumi and just love this octopus. 🙂
Thank you, I am sure this octopus would be pleased
The trouble with having eight arms to knit with is that you need to knit eight sleeves!
Oh God! I hadn’t thought of that I HATE knitting sleeves
Good point well made. as a fellow monkey I am loving your octopus and make something very similar as a keying. A mighty fine mascot
Thank you very much, a keyring sounds like a superb idea.
