I wish there was a squid hat. :(

I too, would partake in squid-based helmets.

When I saw those squid-hat was the first thing that came to mind. Would be amazing. I'd wear it everywhere.

I would also enjoy a squid hat. It would be like a headcrab, but more awesome!

and the long tentacles dangle down over the ears like the tie-strings on an old-school Scandinavian-style wool cap.

As a squid biologist this is surprisingly relevant to my interests. Tell your sister thank you for giving these under appreciated creatures excellent publicity.

Wish I had $25 for one of these. That green and yellow one is exceptionally cute.

Redditor for 1 year? Truly epic.

[–]lifemal[S] 2 points3 points ago

Awesome! I'll make sure she packages yours with extra love!

I figured at least some people on Reddit would love them. I keep one on my desk at work and I always get comments on it.

Hahaha, thanks! My username here is the same as on Etsy.

It'll have a space on one of my studio monitors next to my space marine ;)

My boyfriend sent me this thread, and thought you might like my etsy site with Zoidberg and Cthulhu.

Here's my site!

"dinner-fuck my booze-hole?" LOL. In for one... With a side of bacon.

[–]lifemal[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Awesome! She appreciates the order! Talking to her online she says she's whipping up some bacon for you guys!

[–]daviator88 1 point2 points ago

I'm cajun, so I love the fact that they are crocheted and not knitted. My grandmother crocheted me blankets and other things when I was a baby. Very cool squids, ;p.

[–]shaunc 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe there's a market for crocheted nutria? ;)

[–]daviator88 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd buy one, hehe.

[–]shaunc 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Does the state of Louisiana still pay $3 bounties on nutria?

[–]daviator88 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha I want to say in some places it's $4, but I'm not sure.

I just bought the giant squid....this all goes back to that scene from fight club, where Tyler is asking everyone what they want to do before they die, and one guy says "build a house" and the other says "paint a self-portrait"...I have always thought of captain nemo and said with much gusto "fight a giant squid"....I now can make dream come true. THANKS!!!!....also...send pics of yer sis please

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Awesome!

I'm still trying to get her to fire up the squid cloning facilities! Making squids out of yarn is just something she does in her free time. :P

[–]dave-gonzo 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She could make a grip of cash with these, I personally think they are awesome, and my friends are gonna shit bricks when I come over with my new "pet"

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She's got some orders to fill and some more bacon to make right now, but I'm gonna have her get a stock going. They really are great conversation pieces and just friggen' adorable.

[–]ickpoo 2 points3 points ago

cute as heck, but too pricey for me.

[–]sfresh666 0 points1 point ago

She should sell some on ebay for charity and we could get a bunch of redditors to buy loads of them.

[–]pixpop 0 points1 point ago

Do they have ink inside that squirts out when you squeeze them?

I might have to get one of these My Girlfriend loves squids/octopuses and buying things on Esty, how quickly can your sister deliver after ordering if I’m in Australia? I have an anniversary coming up.

Bruce Schneier doesn't buy knitted squid - he orders the squid to come up the beach and knit lifelike replicas of themselves.

Did anyone else read "crotch squid"?

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Incidentally, I submitted this once before and had "crotched" squid in the title. I considered leaving it for the possibility of more upvotes but I twitched everytime I saw it.

[–]Trolly_McTrollerson 0 points1 point ago

how about a squid with bacon for tentacles?

[–]Badcarbon 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Could she knit a Kirk Douglas to go with that?

[–]dzudz 0 points1 point ago

Your sister is the coolest. I don't have the money to buy one though, so please pass this upvote on to her!

if you have a chance please pose the squid attacking a ship

It would scare the hell out of me if a crocheted squid struck up a conversation with me.

Holy cow Reddit! Trying to get her to crank out more squids.

Mooooooooore SQUIIIIIIIDS

[–]Aadarm 0 points1 point ago

I'll have to show my girl these, she'd want one and of course I'd say yes and buy her one.

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There should be more up by the weekend, hopefully. She's starting on more as soon as she can! You can always put in a custom order though, as well.

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She put up some placeholder items for custom orders. You can request whatever colors you think she would want!

[–]Aadarm 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I want a blue one and where's the link to order them.

[–]lifemal[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Go to her etsy and request a custom one!

[–]areufuckinkiddingme -5 points-4 points ago

seriously this is some weak shit--I'm sure the yarn squids are great and all, but its totally inappropriate to go hocking shit here. There are sites set up for that purpose ( as you evidently know) and I cant understand why anyone here is encouraging it or even allowing it to happen.

The point of this site is to share information, media, and ideas. We vilify spammers and this is ultimately no different--some one distracting us from our intended purpose (social networking) to sell us something for their personal gain. Has this really just not occurred to anyone?
