My sister gave my a couple of amigurumi books for my birthday. One is creepy and cute amigurumi, and the other ones is all animals. I immediately (i.e. that same day) picked a project and started on it. And it finally got finished a couple of weeks ago. If you know when my birthday is, that will tell you a lot. I zipped along on it until I got to the "add the eyes" part. At which point I had to find the eyes that I knew I had in my house. I did go buy more, but the store didn't really have the ones I wanted in stock, so I never did use the other ones. Not sure what I'll do with those.
In any case, here's the octopus before final assembly. I call this "Octopus bits."
And here he is "finished." I have to put that in quotes since technically I'm supposed to embroider a mouth and sew on felt cheeks. But I'm not sure I'm actually going to do that. I kind of like the minimalist look.
