When I am on my deathbed, the things I would be proud of would include the fact that I made sure there was a knitting pattern out in the world that said "I adamantly refuse to tell you how many arms to make", and when it got to the legs, "Make three, if you like."
@mkagle Oh, I have more. Hello Kitty threatened to sue, but I figured they would, so I already had an alternative pattern ready for "basic body" but kept the picture (bow is on the wrong side), and someone made a Cthulu, someone made a ninja, and I made the kitty, the bear, and the kodama.

@mkagle Thought about it a bit, and decided I'm happy there was a little middle finger to the man in the whole process.
@tippitiwichet Good grief. They'll sue over anything, won't they?
@mkagle Actually, it was sweet. Ravelry's lawyers contacted me concerning the suit, and I think they were really ready to go to bat for me over the whole fan art thing, I think they were disappointed I didn't want to fight the man, just thumb my nose at them a little. But yeah, they will, though the lawyers had a point, I was safely within fair use laws.
@mkagle Oh! and the beads in the kodama's butt smell like "ocean", but I swear I can't detect a hint of dead fish or rotting kelp, but anyway, he's buttpouri.
@tippitiwichet I want to know more
