Say hello to my new buddy. He has no name was of yet, but I'm still thinking of one. I suppose one could argue that this little octopus could be female, but I get the distinct feeling that it's male.
Here he is gazing wistfully out the little window by my front door.
I embroidered his eyes on, but decided that next time I'm going to use safety eyes instead. It was a pain to do the embroidery.

Aww, how super-cute! I think he's definitely a boy as well (of course, all my electronics and most of my stuffed animals are male; male is the default unless the object is obviously female =P). Does he have an intended home, or is he going to stay with you?
Darling! With my toy addiction I've got to learn how to crochet!
Adrienne - He has no intended home right now, so I guess he's staying with me. My new neighbours have got kids who might like him, and any other little animals I might churn out, but I don't feel like I know them well enough yet to be giving them gifts. Still struggling with a name though; I looked up the scientific classification for octopus to try and come up with something nice and nerdy, but no luck yet.
Alice - I barely know any crochet; just enough to get the toy made. A lot of the toys make great learning projects because you don't really need to be all that precise. Can't wait to see what you wind up making!!
