I was taking a stroll through my apartment complex when I noticed something rustling in a nearby bush. I approached cautiously and saw a curious but sweet little face peeking out at me:
He seemed friendly enough so after a moment of indecision with those big, opalescent eyes staring unblinkingly out at me, I carefully scooped him out of the brush.
I dusted him off a little bit he didn't seem too worse for wear... maybe a little bit stranger-looking than I might have originally thought...
In so much as I am knowledgeable about feline-cephalopod anatomy would allow, I determine that he was in good health... at least all of his little paws--tentacles were intact? He didn't have a nose as such so it was difficult to test whether or not it were cold and/or wet.
Best of all, though, he seems pretty friendly:
So I brought him inside and introduced him to Herr Kittie... thus far, Kittie is pretty ambivalent about our newest addition. I'm not too worried about either of them, though; Kittie is too lazy to fight and our new house guest appears to have the ability to stick to any surface, making a quick escape simply of matter of slithering up the nearest wall.
I hope he'll be happy here, but I'm worried he might be getting a little home sick:
Things are good here and I am most pleased with my newest project, Octopuss by Jill Watt. I couldn't resist using the pattern to make myself one of my favorite characters from my favorite podcast, Welcome to Night Vale, Khoshekh!
If you are into any and all things H.P. Lovecraft, or Twin Peaks, or just general weirdness, check out Welcome to Night Vale.
I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day and an equally nice weekend. I myself just wanted to do a quick, silly post because I was just too excited about my newest FO.
Also, I just wanted to give you all a heartfelt thank you for bringing my modest blog to over 200 pageviews. I am thrilled-beyond-thrilled to offer words and pictures and much silliness to all of you. Thank you!
