Meet Oliver the Octopus. He's a bath mitt I made out of 100% cotton yarn. This would be a great gift for a baby shower. He knits up quick.

Awww, your craft projects are so cute, I'm going to have to make some of those lantern gift tags! And I loooove those rice bag totes!
^_^ Chase.
What a great idea! :-)
This is adorable. Your rice bag tote is very clever also.
thank you for your comments, I always enjoy feedback
Oh, pout! I read about this project on Ravelry and thought it would make a great gift, but the pattern is no longer available. It's very cute!
i love this project! i finished mine up last night and posted it on my blog. thanks for the pattern!
If I knew how to knit I would totally make this. Now I have even more reasons to learn the nitting craft.
This is so adorable..but I don't know how to see the pattern..I'll try ask someone to teach me..^^
This is very very cute. I am going to make one. But doesn't an octopus, by definition, have eight tentacles? Was it a matter of having enough yarn? Was the result of a bizarre and tragic fishing accident? :)
I must get some more yarn when I next go out as I would love to give this a go. I also want to say how I love your Christmas tutorials too, I’m sure to give a few creations a go for this Christmas.
This is totally adorable and I love it. I'm working on sewing up my second one. Do you have any tips for sewing the tentacles on? Or tips on sewing the face?
