My beloved husband might leave me if I knitted an Ood. He hates things with tentacles (after a traumatic experience as a child involving a drive-in theatre and a late-knight showing of
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea).
Then again, he might leave just because it would be evidence that I wasn't really me... I can't knit to save my life.
In any case, the patterns are probably still available via the Internet Archive... as are the earlier versions of the BBC story.
