Mari Shimizu [Hugo Strikes Back]

No. 02: a thousand winds

Just one of the bizarre sculptures by Mican — whom I can find nothing about. I’m not even sure I have the name correct. If anyone can fill me in, please do so in the comments.

I am simply amazed by what these crafty girls can do with yarn. A knit Cthulhu? And knitted for her husband? What a lucky guy…

I remain suspicious Katy. Craftster member JenGoPop says she made this knit Cthulhu for her “husband”, but I fear it may be a cry for help. I cannot imagine a marital situation where such a fantastic Cthulhu — look at those eyes, they’re perfect — would be manufactured. On the other hand, a poor woman imprisoned in a suburban sweatshop in someone’s dingy basement, forced to work 16 hour shifts in order to meet a daily quota of diminutive, knit otherworldly beings seems perfectly realistic.
