Cthulhu meets the Muppets

Recently I knit a drawstring bag using two yarns held together: one string of a basic brown worsted-weight brown yarn, and one string of a fuzzy novelty yarn in brown tones. The result was a bag shaped like a piece of Southwestern pottery, with the ends of two fuzzy drawstrings emerging from it like four tentacles. It really does look like Cthulhu meets the Muppets.

This bag also happens to be one of Sylvia's new toys. Jan and I discovered that wearing it like a glove and using it to tickle her often cracks her up. If we hold the opening of the bag up to the back of her head, she looks like a little Rastafarian.
