A Giant Squid to Knit...

It started when I saw a giant knit squid on Ravelry. Then I followed the links to the book and saw the pinata.... and I knew I was going to have to get my hands on a copy of  Huge & Huggable Mochimochi: 20 Supersized Patterns for Big Knitted Friends. 

Because how can you not need to knit a giant squid and a loopy pinata?! 

I also might need to knit Roland the pill bug.

There are a ton of other patterns that I have no urge to knit, like the giant tube of toothpaste and enormous pencil. But the squid and the pinata are more than enough for me to justify buying the book. (The  copy I've got in my hands right now is from the library.)
