{"product_id":"lernie-the-loch-ness-monster-knitting-pattern","title":"Lernie the Loch Ness Monster Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you think of the Loch Ness monster, you’re probably\u003cbr\u003epicturing a grainy photograph from the 1930s featuring a big\u003cbr\u003eback and spindly neck emerging from the water. But the first\u003cbr\u003erecorded sighting of the monster is actually from 564 CE,\u003cbr\u003erecorded in the writings of St. Columbia. The photo from 1934\u003cbr\u003ehas led many to speculate that this water-faring cryptid may\u003cbr\u003eactually be a plesiosaurus, a kind of aquatic dinosaur that\u003cbr\u003e(supposedly) went extinct some 65 million years ago. Is Lernie\u003cbr\u003etrapped outside of time, the last in the line of an otherwise\u003cbr\u003eextinct species? Are they a single creature or does Lernie\u003cbr\u003ehave a family? (What about Nessie, after all?) I’ve asked, but\u003cbr\u003eLernie won’t tell me.
