Notes

People keep showing me that AI octopus throw that looks knitted and crocheted, and I finally decided to have a go. Mine will not have any crochet and will only have 8 arms instead of about 15.

Won’t be as big either!

I do wish Ice Yarns would label yarn weights correctly.
Gold Batik is light fingering and Firenze Angora is fingering.

Used the Firenze held double.
