Barry The Baphomet

Meet Barry — part goat, part mischief, 100% yarn. He was supposed to be a simple ram, but somewhere between casting on the horns and embroidering that little pentagram on his forehead, he decided he had other plans. Now he sits on the shelf, stroking his tiny tasselled goatee, judging my life choices, and demanding tribute in the form of snacks. Most unbothered dark lord a skein of yarn has ever produced. 10/10 would summon again.
