Thank you Alex & Vims I'm on a sea creature tangent right now I've made a sea turtle and a jelly fish or squid not sure which it is

[crochetrae]

Alisha, you're a life saver!! My future DIL had seen an octopus pattern in one of my old Workbaskets I was giving away and I forgot to pull it out for her. The guilt has been killing me! Olga is so much cuter, even. I printed it and I'm sending it to her right away. I so enjoy other people's creativity since I have none. THANKS!
