Octopusses!
Nov. 11th, 2013 09:31 amNow that all three recipients have their octopusses, I can share a photo:

I got the pattern from the Dapper Toad over on Etsy, and it was very easy to follow. I did actually have to switch to dpns for the ears instead of continuing to magic loop on circulars, just because I was dealing with something so small, but for once the dpns behaved and didn't hurt my hands.
In fact, the hardest part of making these was finding the cat's eye buttons, which I ended up buying through Suncrafter Craft Eyes on Amazon. I need to order more soon for the current project (a yeti!), which might leave some spare for more octopusses. OH WELL.
