After a few hours of debating what to make, I decided that the Pit of Sarlacc was an under appreciated subject of Return of the Jedi. I used to watch the movies alllll the time as a kid and I loved Return of the Jedi and was totally freaked out by the Pit of Sarlacc. Its completely knitted and shaped with stuffing. It has purl ridges to kinda represent some teeth and it has some larger teeth knitted on there. It has five tentacles, which are fingers on a glove. You can wiggle them around — via deviantART

Grandfather Thomas Moore Johnson (1851-1919) was known as the sage of the Osage
.
With his knit cap and Scotch-taped glasses, it is hard at times not to think of Tom Johnson as a living exhibit from a time when the printed word shook the world like the digital word shakes it today.
The Johnson Library and Museum became a non-profit in 1990. Its board of directors includes David Richards, an associate professor at Missouri State University who oversees the school’s special collections and archives — via redwolf.newsvine.com
