I realized that I never posted a picture of the knitted octie I made last winter for my dear friend Betsie. I was sending her Pirate Mail, and Pirate Mail is just not Pirate Mail without a cephalopod. so here he is:
Sorry it’s a terrible picture- that was back when I was using The Beast for a camera. It’s almost older than me and weighs as much as a small child. And takes very mediocre pictures. But you get the idea.
Now that I’ve sort of taken up knitting, I’m really really impressed. That’s fun!
Thanks! What are you making with your new mad knitting skills?
earwarmers!

So cute! Nice cable!
awesome! I love him! They make some really neat books for making stuffed animals via knitting. Also, have you been to craftster.org ? they have a whole knitting section and I bet they have a ton of patterns there. They have a harry potter knitting book too – my mom made me Errol from it!
Thank you! I’m actually not very good at following knitting patterns… I kinda have to make things up as I go along or I get bored and give up.
How is zee petit bebe? Are you getting more sleep?
*faints from cute!* Awww! I want a knitted Octie…
Thanks!
Having fun in England?
Oh, I love it! And it has little suckers too! Awwwww
Thank you! I hope your appointment goes well today!
hello from the fabled needle!
Hi Caitlyn! Thank you commenting on I Made It Monday! You know, I agree that sea creatures and knitting go really well together – the octie is adorable.
Re: hello from the fabled needle!
Thank you! I really enjoyed I Made it Monday- I always like seeing your various projects, and it gave me the push I needed to actually put up a few pictures of my own.
