And as if the Snailvengers aren’t cool enough on their own, Laura Partridge‘s Etsy shop also has crocheted hat-scarf combos (or scoodies) based on the Avengers and their favorite Asgardian nemesis. And the Loki scoodie has horns. Check ‘em out behind the jump.

If it’s something you enjoy, all power to you! I would never stand in your way. However, while I have a neutral opinion about Skyrim, something has prevented me from ever having a negative opinion about it. And it’s handmade crochet costumes for dogs. Adorable crochet costumes for adorable dogs.
