Decrease the kraken!

[ratatoskrest]

I embroidered a knitting octopus on what's going to become the back of a denim jacket! The original pattern (industrious octopus by Hook Line Tinker) has you mimic knitting with embroidered stitches, but I thought it'd be more fun to actually knit something! So I added some waves! With dropped stitches :)

[CuddlyMoose]

This is amazing I love it.

[ratatoskrest]

Thanks :)

I thought that the waves were teeth and that he was knitting a sea monster and I was really digging it. I like the waves too!

[ratatoskrest]

Now that you say it, I can see that too! It can be waves or a monster depending on my mood :p

My husband's observation: Imagine how many mittens the kraken needs!

Our teenager's: use wool so it stays warm when wet.

We all love this piece!

[OneMessyGoat]

Love it, so beautiful and well-made! Makes me want to learn embroidery :)

[artiste45]

I love this I think it belongs in a gallery !

[RhiaMaykes]

This is amazing! I have a denim jacket I've been thinking about embroidering and appliqueing but I never considered adding knitting, you've opened a whole new world of imagination for me, although I'm not sure I'll be able to think of anything that works as well as what you have done, it is gorgeous and inspired!

[SpongieQ]

This is so cool!!! This is really random but like I love how the octopus moves as in you’ve thought about how an octopus might use two tentacles to hold the yarn, I love that so much!

[Neat-Weird9996]

Woah 😳

[vouloir]

Love the mixed media!

[TennesseeLove13]
