Octopus Garden - Free Knitting Pattern

I haven’t been blogging much lately, but one thing I have been doing a lot is knitting. It seems as though I knit all the time, during every bit of free time I get in fact, but I will still never manage to get everything done by the holidays. Despite having a head start of about six months! Do I just knit like a snail or what? (Surely snails, lacking arms and fingers, would be spectacularly slow at yarn crafts). At any rate, a few birthdays have come and gone, and that provided an opportunity to fulfill a request I’d received from the lovely Faye, who had been quite taken with my Mr. Snootypus. She inquired about a pattern, and I’d responded with a half-garbled, nonsensical retelling of what I thought I had done. “How do you knit an octopus?” “Well, you get some yarn, and you knit until it looks like an octopus.” Since then, a few of my friends have had birthdays, so I’ve had an opportunity to try and retrace my steps. One could suppose this would provide me the chance to meticulously and painstakingly record pattern notes, but, you know, I got distracted sometimes by shiny things and people. Given my ability to knit without paying attention, it can be difficult to remember what I’ve done just, oh, five seconds ago. Despite this, I have managed to cobble together something that I do think might produce a passable octopus, similar to the ones I’ve made. The stitch math might actually be correct! Please feel free to leave comments, I can sympathize with just how painful a vague pattern can be. Anyhow, without further ado, here is the Octopus Pattern!
