I finished two octopus toys for my mum :) my son will likely play with them lots, they were meant for the little girl she child minds too but sadly she'll not be having her any more from the end of this week, so my son will get the majority of play with them.
One is eligible for the GAL on ravelry, but the other I cast on before it started so isn't, but one entry so far is better than none lol
The pattern is called acht the octopus and I find it really easy to understand, though lots of purling in the round is a little bit of a pain, and have to go slow as the toy tight tension is bad on my joints if I go too fast.
The gift along (GAL) has started on ravelry and runs till the end of December, the indie designers still have the sale on for their patterns, but that will be ending soon, so have a look and get savings while you can, plus the chance to win prizes if you participate in the GAL.
I've bought a few GAL patterns and hope to get a couple things made up in time for xmas, and hoping some will be selfish knitting for myself...I still haven't finished mums socks (the second one is going so much slower than the first), and I'm refusing to cast on socks for myself while a pair is still on the needles, if I start that game I may never finish pairs lol plus I have so much sock yarn in my stash now I have to decide which I wan for my own socks...some are so nice it'd be a shame for them to be on my feet lol
I'm pretty much caught up on podcasts, though the knit girllls have just uploaded so I'm gonna go watch them while working on some knitting :)
Happy Crafting!
