Notes

The husband has requested an octopus. As I love knitting for the husband, I shall give him an octopus. When asked about what color he would prefer, he floated the idea that it would probably be too hard to make it look like the gummy octopuses he is addicted to. Bah. My husband wants a multi-color octopus colored after candy? My husband shall get a multi-colored octopus colored after candy. Just gotta figure out the colors. Eep.

Yarn amounts are overestimates - I used 2g for the legs and just over 1g for the body, but I’m not taking the time to find out the right decimal for that.

The look on the husband’s face when he saw what I was working on: magical.
