“I’m so cute, there is no way I will grow up to be sushi!”
That’s the tiniest Giant Squid I’ve ever seen..
“I have rather highbrowed tastes.”
Total tentacle cuteness!!! I lurve it!!
After trying for some time to come up with a witty comment, I’ve decided to squid while I’m ahead.
I see 20,000 league under the sea dioramas in the future.
I come equipped with my own dye!
I’m too cute to eat or mess with!
I quote Dorie from “Finding Nemo”: “I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine”
One Squid, Two Squid, a Yellow Squid For You Squid
Shark Week? It should be SQUID Week!
I sure hope I don’t happen across a tiny Giant Whale!
“Calamari is WHAT?! I thought it was a name for a pretty colorway!”
“Here’s looking at you squid!”
“All those men. They didn’t even have a chance. They were sailors, same as me. Slaughtered by that monster you’re trying to make friends with.”
“Awwww….but look how cute he is!”
My name is Martha Squidwart and today I’ll be showing you how to dye yarn with your own ink.
More like Cute-thulhu, amiright?
The vat has increased as of this month look how little you get for your squid now!
heehee! I love the “Cute-thulhu” comment!
he’s not fiddly–he’s squiddly!
HA, that giant squid has nothing on me I have GIANT CUTENESS!!!!
OMG – I think that I am having a cuteness OD. Bring me some insulin STAT!
I once caught a squid and it was this…..big.
He’s always living in the shadow of his giant relatives :(
Ms. Squid thinks she would be the perfect leggy match for Mr. Octopus. Plus, she hates guys that ink up the water.
After accepting his offer for dinner, Sue Ellen watched as Henry opened up his day planner to the coming Friday. He didn’t just pencil her in – he inked her in. Her mantle blushed with excitement.
Inspired by his brother(who ran a successful carwash), tiny squid opened a ‘hugs for sale’ booth and was soon swimming in dough
Ink -a-dink-a-doo! Soooo cute! How sweet is he/she?!
My name? Quid. Colossal S. Quid.
I’ll never eat calamari again.
His label may say superwash, but scare him and you’ll get a squirt from his dye pouch!
You should knit a tiny bag of cement.
I can work on four projects at once, so I never have too many lying around.
Cute as a button, but you forgot the grasping tentacles!!
RELEASE THE CRACKEN . . . . . um little Cracken ???
Nectocaris Pteryx : tiniest squid ever to roam the Cambrian sea. Scientist’s chose to rename this nearly microscopic creature the “cuddle”fish.
The world’s smallest colossal squid is also the world’s cutest colossal squid.
Gather a round, we squid tell the best yarns-it’s in our dye(lot).
I don’t have a caption, but can we please, please have this pattern? :D
I can’t think of any clever captions either; but at least I recognize CUTE when I see it :-D (she said, clutching the Mochimochi Land book she got for her birthday!)
“Oh don’t eat me! You will have to use a microscope to see the calamari!”
I have eight little legs, but none long enough to scratch the top of my head. Hmmm…
This diddy squiddy is tenta-COOL
My tenacles give a new meaning to speed knitting :-)
Please don’t take me anywhere near a Detroit Redwings game!!!
I’m telling you! I won’t make good calamari! I’m made of yarn!
When I grow up, I want to be a yellow submarine.
Oh, tiny knitted squid!
Double points are not my friends!
Would love to try to make you!
But, I fear I will try,
But, only to cry!
Oh, tiny knitted squid!
Oh so yellow!
Watch the water,
as you swim!
Sun shiny bright you are!
I fear bait or a snack,
Could be your future!
Remember…
Tiny you are,
Think big! Act Big!
“water causes shrinkage!”
Tiny squid can rock the boat
The Colossal Squid is believed to be 39-46 feet long and live at a depth of 2200m under the sea, while in reality it is only 39-46mm long and lives right at the surface. Scientists have really bad depth perception.
Omigosh!!! You should make a Cuttlefish and sell the Octopus, the Squid, and the Cuttlefish as a Tiny Cephalopod Pattern Set. {3
so cute. you TOTALLY should sell a cuttlefish, squid, and octopus all together for a pattern set.
LOVE the color!
Where’s Patrick and Spongebob? :)
20,000 stitches under the sea!!!
I give you: Cephalopoda MiniSquiddius. (Or perhaps Cephalopoda Teenytinysquiddius?)
OOOH! me and maddie asked for this! squeeee!!
” go home sponge bob”
“me? why me i really dont like to be sushi”
Tiny squid is just a little squirt, but he’s so quick!
I just squealed very loudly! Amazing. I love knitted sea creatures!
THE (KNITTED) KRAKEN
BY ALFRED TYENNYSON AND FLORENCE
Below the THREADS of the FELTED deep;
Far, far beneath in the PURLY sea,
His FOUR-PLY, WOOLY, WORSTED sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest NEEDLES flee
About his STOCKINETTE sides: above him swell
Huge YARN BALLS of millennial growth and WEIGHT;
And far away into the FUZZY light,
From many a wondrous STITCH and KNITTED cell
Unnumber’d and LOOPED polypi
Winnow with giant arms the GARTERED green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
UNRAVELING upon huge SKEINS in his sleep,
Until the DEXTROUS KNITTER shall STITCH the deep;
Then once by FREINDS and SMALL CHILDREN to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface…BE REALLY CUTE AND SQUASHY!!!!!!
X-D
yes tiny squid!!!! fantastic!!!
