Octopi abound

There hasn't been a tonne of knitting this weekend so far. Yesterday, the weather was way too nice, so I took Stella out for a spin, then spent the afternoon on Mom's back porch, learning how to crochet - and boy do I suck at it!

But, one thing I am good at is finishing Octopi. I mentioned before that a friend saw Octavius Bob, and wanted one just like him.

Well meet Octavius Bill. They aren't identical twins - I couldn't find my left over ball of Orange Tabby Cat, so Bill here got some random handpainted yarn for his belly - it's a mixture of pink, peach and gold - but I think it does the trick.

And since my friend has young daughter who will likely try to claim Bill for herself...

I made Octavia! Octavia is made from left over Big Cat. Octavia was actually made last month, but was awaiting my new shipment of eyes. She finally got sewed up Friday evening. 

Now I really should be doing some housework.... but my needles are calling me.... and then there's that crochet to practice....
