Because I mentioned it earlier and because it's Friday and the world could use some sassy warmth, here's the Calcifer I knit a few years ago for a friend. He's made from 100% angora (rabbit, not goat) yarn. I couldn't find the right colors so I got skeins of white and dyed them with Jacquard acid dyes, just like I did today. He's also stuffed with combed wool instead plastic (poly-fill). He's also squishy and soft and just a general delight. #knitting #FiberArts

@madgeface@mastodon.art @naugeleh@weirder.earth I too am squishy and soft, and at least try to be a general delight
