The Zeitgeist Arrow Points To . . .

[chronographia]

Why my Ravelry account gained the OCTO-ATTACK! tag so much sooner than my blog did, I'll never understand. Lapse of judgement. Or maybe I was waiting until the zeitgeist arrow swung around to cephalopods again. Anyway.

How about a nice old-fashioned link dump of OCTO-ATTACK! goodness?

• The Rag & Bone blog, home of sundry wonderful paper creations and which I have just fallen deeply in love with, points out this giant cardboard squid-rafter-thingie. It says rainy day activity, does it not? Children, get your scissors and paste out.


• "OctopusME! Jewelry made from REAL Octopus!" OctopusME's Etsy shop announces. No, no, not that, not what you're thinking. That would be unhygienic. Each item of jewelry has been cast from sushi-grade octo tentacles. The detail on those suckers is astounding. If I had an array of piercings up my ear, these would be so much more tempting than they already are.


• And Tokkyu2222 has sussed out how to make stole-sized knitted cephalopods [rav], which means that I won't have to. Maybe there is a reason why Ravelry got the octo-attack! tag first.


• Of course, there's always the GIANT SQUIDS INVADE CALIFORNIA headline. But that's old news by now, right? I mean, they've been invading for over a year. Consider California invaded, consider it overrun, consider the squid to have climbed to the pinnacle of Mount Wilson Observatory with Faye Wray clutched in a tentacle.


• Vampire squid never stop being cool.
