A few weeks ago, I entered a contest over at Yarn-A-Go-Go. It was a kit to make Opus..... a giant couch octopus.... because who doesn't want a couch octopus? I fell in love with Opus the minute the pattern cam out in Knitty, and into the queue he went. So when I saw the contest, I just had to enter!
And I won! The prize arrived today.... and look what it contained!
There were lots of other goodies in the box too. It had all the bits and pieces needed to make Opus - including the safety eyes, stuffing, dpns, stitch markers, and the cutest little pair of scissors I've ever seen!
And if Opus wasn't enough... there's another Octopus in my life....
Mom and I we're invited back to the Iron Dyers for the February challenge... which is Sea Beast.... This is the picture that was chosen
Perhaps someone is trying to tell me I need to take a trip to the ocean.... or at least the aquarium....

I'd be doing a big old happy dance all over the house! Congrats!!!!
Oh my! Love that octopus pic, teal and fuschia might just be enough to break my yarn diet; though I'll need to sell more yarn first I think to make money, it's a nuisance not getting much work atm.
That fibre is gorgeous too, you are very lucky.
That fiber is gorgeous! Congrats on the great win.
It was meant to be. Can't wait to see your dye job!
Congratulations on the win! The fiber is lovely, and the picture of the Octopus is gorgeous! can't wait to see what you came up with!
