I was just oohing and aaahing over this site without any particular plans until I saw this pattern:

I need one, you see. I must have one. I have witnessed and assisted in the making of complex things out of fabric and patterns often enough to know that this is not a particularly difficult one, although I don't exactly sew, per se. Also, fleece is cheap and I'm sure I can find a really obnoxious print. Have to do this.

I mean, it's an 8-foot squid pillow. How could I not? Mine must have a beak and a siphon, of course. I can figure out how to make those.

EDIT: I think I might need this, too. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Squid-Hat/

Maybe I should find a sewing machine.
