I knitted this two Christmases ago for my lovely brother, who has waaay too many dice for such a small bag. Still! He likes it, and takes it along to cons.
The bag is the smallest of Katydid's Geek Chic Dice Bags, onto which I added a cluster of i-cord tentacles. That's really the most time-consuming part; I knitted the bag in an hour or two, but did the tentacles over the next two days.
The key to tentacle success is density. You really want to pack those babies in there. Think you have enough? Add more! Think you've run out of room? Get out your crochet hook and do some single chains! It helps to like doing i-cord. Which I do.
His squiddy horribleness is made of some weird speckly green acrylic worsted weight I got second-hand, on my gorgeous Knit Picks nickel-plated 4mm DPNs. His eyes and his jaggedy eyebrows are embroidered on in dark green 5-ply wool, and he's held closed with a black i-cord drawstring.
