There is something about crocheting ultra geeky stuff that makes me very happy. The latest is this Cthulhu-inspired “fireworm” scarf. I called it that because a)it looks like a worm, and b) it is bright orange. I can see some little kid (or his geeky dad) wearing this thing.
I considered the possibility of putting wings on it, like I did with this Cthulhu guy…
… but I decided to leave it worm-like instead. I made this pattern up, so if I do another one I will have to just recreate it from memory. Shouldn’t be too hard tho.
My next project is a Cthulhu ski mask, which my hubby has been wanting to me to make forever. I’m finally doing it. I also just picked up a great little book of Amigurumi crochet guys called Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More!
I cannot WAIT to see the ski mask! This is a hoot and a half

Ha! Thanks, Cyndi. My hubby is going to wear the ski mask at a haunted house for Halloween.

That is great! I can’t wait to see the ski mask… what a great project. We have the book here as well, and have to agree, they are far too adorable to pass up… hope you find it fun too!

Well, I didn’t have a clue about what you’re all talking about so I Googled “Cthulhu” and guess what – I still don’t have a clue! Is there some video game or something I’ve missed?
Anyway, the scarf is really cute – unlike the image of Cthulhu I found on Wikipedia. lol.

Eileen,
Sorry, I should write a post explaining what a Cthulhu is! It’s taken from H.P. Lovecrafts “Call of Cthulhu.” It’s basically a monster with tentacles. LOL. Very scary. And yet, kinda cute when made with crochet.
