Things I have learned from knitting an octopus

[nonelvis]

1. Do not try to knit an octopus.

2. I cannot make a French knot to save my life.

3. I also apparently sometimes pick up stitches from the edge in the wrong direction, no matter how many times I try to pick them up in exactly the same way every time.

4. Knitting tentacles is incredibly boring.

5. The cats will never be impressed by my work.

6. Okay, at least it's kind of cute.

Please don't feel obliged -- Clare and I weren't trying to extract gifts from you (the blanket is more than enough, and Nathan loves it). We both just wanted to tell you how great the octopus looked.

Eh, I might make something anyway, just for fun. There was a really cute tasselled hat pattern I found today ...
