I'd be the first to admit that he's not real scary in this version, but this would be an...interesting...gift for just the right baby or toddler. You're gonna need some crocheting skillz, though.

For those not gifted in handling yarn and needles there are plush Cthulus etc. available (also handpuppets)
The rumored Cthulhu-with-baby-rattle may not be among them (sold out says the company, never made say others)

Check your closest RPG (Role Playing Game) shop first, they probably have them and it will likely be less expensive to buy in a shop.
Oh, and the knitted Cthulhu is adorable!
Here's another knitted Nautie (http://bluefrogknits.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html)... almost makes me want to try knitting (again!)

This is an interesting (http://bad-mamma-jamma.blogspot.com/2005/12/ia-ia-cthulu-fhtagn.html) specimen.
I'm not having any luck. I want to buy a ready knitted Cthulhu and all I can find are knitting patterns.
Griffin-- check Darlicas post--- they are so adorable.
(note to pirates and others- the management at toyvault would like to inform you all that the model in the pink top is NOT for sale- she is a model- the toy she is holding is what is for sale--- but they do thank you for your fervent inquires)

I know. But I am set on a knitted one. And some of the knitting patterns are brilliant. I just don't have time to knit.
I still cannot find anything :(
But I did find this

....along with other goodies.
Do I need to get my knitting guru to make one for you?
She's a Presbyterian minister's wife, and would LOVE to shock her craft circle with it, I'm sure, unless her calendar's full.
(She's also a textbook editor, and has a tonne--note Brit spelling--of needlework to do for various church-type cloth things.)
Shall I ask? She's up in the frozen North part of the US somewhere, so she won't be in her garden yet.
cthulhulives is a good address. Their Scary Solstice CDs inspired me (as did their recording of A Shoggoth on the Roof)
I can only do a bit of sewing, effective but also very crude.

Oh knitted- gotcha.
I once made a macrame bikini(unlined-I was a brave little hussy), sort of scratchy but not too awful bad--- the photo sort of reminds me of those days when it was alright that I showed people my unsaggy youthful parts.
lol@anthro
I once made myself a cotton bikini. Looked stunning until I went in the water. Suffice it to say, the elastic in a bikini needs to be very tight. :shock:
Chatty, if your friend would really knit one like that pic I'd be over the moon. Meanwhile I have found a tolerable substitute here http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/products/3950/Cthulhu_Baby_Plush/Horror/Plushes/Cthulhu/Product.html.
Opt for the plush.
Her 63 year old minister husband/volunteer firefighter fell from a ladder during an upper story rescue and broke his leg in 3 places a few days ago, and shattered a wrist.
They'll be busy for a while. (Their daughter is a doctor, head of the ER to which her father was airlifted. When she got far enough along to look at the patient's face, she yelled "Daddy, you KNOW better than to think you're still 35!!" and the other Docs in attendance flipped out.)
He's been through the surgeries, but is facing a long rehab on that shattered wrist. The 'child' (15, almost 6 feet tall) he was rescuing was fine, but had swung out onto the ladder too soon, wearing a pair of steel toed boots, and thus shattering the wrist, causing the fall...
This supports my thesis of life: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: No good deed goes unpunished.
Sorry to hear this.
Odd, I thought I was the only one to develop that thesis.
I did opt for the plush. Then I remebered who I was giving it to.... no doubt the colour contains dangerous dyes, the eyes can be swallowed, and the whole thing can be a cause of cot smothering.
So I am going to keep it for myself !!
