Tiny Narwhal

I’ve had unicorns on the brain lately, and that inevitably led to knitting a tiny narwhal this week!

Reginald used to have it all. Mansion on a hill, super model wife, three and a half kids, and a six figure salary. Then on one dark and stormy evening, Reginald was cursed by an evil gypsy chihuahua. He was turned into a small fibrous narwhal, and lost everything to his name. He has a deathly fear of water, as he believes he will felt. Now he wanders the streets looking for a pretty lady, half a kid, and six stalks of celery. He has begun performing on the streets, a pitiful profession. He uses his horn to joust, knit, swordfight, hold coats, and be a lady’s jewelry stand. This is, of course, to get closer to his dreams of what he used to have. Sadly, last month he proposed to a beautiful damsel, and she ran away screaming. He spent the last month holed up (literally) in a dirty hovel, knitting half sweaters, gowns, celery cozies, (six of them) and other miscellany. Reginald needs mental help, and a pretty lady. Or a celery patch. And to live in a desert. Please give Reginald a hand if you ever see him, and drop some coins into his hat. He dances in a top hat and monicle!

Gnarly the Narwhal always came first in the undersea fencing tournaments. He owned all the silverware it was possible to win, but all he ever wanted was a congratulatory hug.

I made a wee narwhal for my kids’ advent Mini-stockings last Christmas-yours is cuter :)
And my kids will tell you that, although it is a little known fact, narwhal horns are without a doubt, the source of all candy canes.

You would think that a knitted narwhal would use his horn to knit, but this tiny knitted narwhal prefers needlepoint.

To skewer the bacon of course! Well, “the most broadly accepted theory for the role of the tusk is as a secondary sexual characteristic, similar to the mane of a lion or the tail feathers of a peacock. … and for braking sea ice in their Arctic habitat.” info taken from wikipedia.

I use my horn to rescue penguins,
Stranded on the ice.
I break right through
And lead them home
To all their penguin wives!

I have to point out that Wikipedia is wrong about narwhals. The tusk is actually a tooth. True story. A dentist figured it out. It’s the left front tooth and it’s super sensitive and narwhals can use it to determine water temperature and salinity and it helps them navigate the ocean and find food.

For the caption contest:
Tiny narwhal uses his tusk to spear donuts. He’s a little guy with a giant sweet tooth.

Tiny knitted narwhal has a terrible secret – he really wants to learn to crochet, so uses his knitted horn for that purpose, but only when no-one is looking – see, he’s hopeless at it!

Well poor little Narwhal found it impossible to break chocolate orange and so he grew a horn, this way he could spear the chocolate orange and eat the perfect little segments.

Tiny Narwhal is quite the political animal… He uses his horn to hold up his Occupy Tiny Ice Floe sign! (He’s protesting against all the rich penguins in tuxedos…)

Despite his adorable appearance, Tiny Narwhal is, of course, a swashbuckling pirate, the terror of the arctic seas! Don’t cross him. But do take him adventuring.

He uses it to protect you from that mean kid in your classroom. Every time anyone says anything evil about you, he jumps up and gives them a little prick with his horn. He also likes to use it to help you scratch those hard to get areas. Or clean that tricky bit in the corner of your glasses.

There is a tiny narwhal,
Who has a tiny horn.
He’s the underwater version
Of a unicorn!
His horn is very useful,
A knitting needle or a sword.
Or engraving things on desks,
When he’s _really_ bored.
His horn has many uses,
But no matter what they say,
His trusty horn will lead him home
No matter where he strays!
