TikToker Jenna Bates, AKA woolymcwoolface has made an ungodly creation unlike anything I could have ever imagined. She has literally, from scratch, knitted a gigantic, to-scale wooly Thanos, from Avengers. 

This is incredible and I am in absolute tears. To be clear, this thing is actually 8 foot and 3 inches tall, and it looks like this:

He’s a big boy.

Jenna Bates has been working on the project since May this year, and has been slowly knitting Thanos piece-by-piece since then. 

She posted the final reveal on her TikTok on September 28.
