Knit pincushion: How cute is this?!

This showed up in my Christmas stocking from Mom. I hestitate putting it out; this is the kind of thing that the Nake-id Predator likes to disembowel for the sheer sport of it.

The pattern is titled, "Fleur de Lis & Cearnog Pincushions," and is from the Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts magazine, 2010.

Cute, no?
