I’ve been gone for about a week, thanks to the wonderful organic chemistry that has been eating my brain. Molecular Orbital Theory can bite me and then jump of a bridge. In that order. However, now that I’m back with a shiny A- on my exam, I’ve decided that I should introduce the Lovecraftian Plushie Army, who has been kind enough to star occassionally in the blog and model my knitting from time to time.

Being the oldest of the plushies, Sparkles Cthulhu is the Commander-in-Chief, General of the Plushie Army. He is also a creature of luxury, which is why, when asked to pick his favorite yarn from the stash, he has chosen this:

That is a skein of The Knittery Merino Cashmere Sock in Kelim, purchased from The Loopy Ewe. Sparkles has a soft-spot for cashmere. The colors are less blue and more purple, but the indoor lighting makes it difficult to photograph - either that or Sparkles’s dark might sucks the color out of the yarn.

He’s also chosen this scarf as his favorite UFO in the Basket of Doom,

It’s Mom’s Sophisticated Scarf from Stitch’N’Bitch, in Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk. I think it is the silk and the fact that it keeps his wings warm that is calling the Dark One, but it may also be the fact that this has been sitting in the UFO basket for 6 months, waiting for it’s ends to be woven in. Sparkles is not down with procrastination, which is why he is taking care of the O-Chem,

And finishing my Lovely Roommate’s socks.

Mrrrrrrrrgh. Socks.
