Zoomorphic Knitting

I realized that the sweater and the hooded scarf/cape
I made recently have very aquatic characteristics to them.
Here's the scarf/cape arranged into an octopus shape.
I guess it would be a decopus with the 10 arms.
That's a erroneous word....decopus...

Tree Sweater

The sweater I've been working on is finally DONE.
...well, almost.
I'm going to probably add a collar, then it will be finished.
I made up my own pattern as I went.
I based the cabling on the combination of tree bark
and the muscles on the body. Primarily on the arms and back.

*note*
:When making up your own knitting pattern,
be sure to write down what you're doing, or make
both sleeves at the same time. it will save you
a lot of time and grief:

Laura's Hooded Scarf

This is a knitted piece I just finished for my sister.
She wanted a scarf with a hood, and this is what my mind
came up with. These pictures don't quite show it off that well,
but it snowed last night and I couldn't help but go out and
snap some photos in the snow. I'll post some more soon,
hopefully with a girl modeling it. No offense Rusty!

The hood is an alpaca/acrylic blend. SUPER soft.
The body of it is wool/mohair blend by Brown Sheep Co.
The brown yarn is a great kettle dyed merino by Malabrigo.

Squid Hats

Here is one of the several squid hats I was
commissioned to make last year. 100% wool body and
Alpaca tentacles. Eyes are cast in epoxy then painted
