I created a new #amigurumi design! This is the primitive #Cambrian chordate Pikaia, late of the #BurgessShale. I added a pipe cleaner "notochord" for posability! #paleontology

(As an added bonus, the stitches on the fins resemble myomeres! It's a dangerous thing to give a science nerd some yarn. 💙)
