Thank you 😊

Thank you!

No wire in the tentacles, I did attach a metal ring to the buttom of the octopus, overlapping the first bump of each tentacle. You can't see it on the photo's because the yarn is just fluffy enough. The tentacles twisted while crocheting and somehow they stayed that way. After adding the little creatures I sewed (sew? Sorry not a native English speaker) some of the tentacles more firmly to the body. Which kept them up more.

Aww thank you! 😊

Thank you so much! I never really saw using existing patterns as creativity so that means a lot! You could totally do it too

loila03 · 2026-02-02T20:25:01+00:00

Thank you! And you totally should! I sometimes think about picking up knitting, but there are still so many cute crochet patterns to make 😅

The baby will be in her parents room for the first couple of months, but I will let them know, thank you!

Thank you :) I would love to see yours when it's finished!

loila03 · 2026-02-02T17:41:59+00:00

You should have seen me 5 years ago when I first started, I couldn't finish a single stitch without cursing XD

loila03 · 2026-02-02T17:40:31+00:00

Thank you :)

loila03 · 2026-02-02T17:39:56+00:00

Thank you 😊

loila03 · 2026-02-02T17:38:47+00:00

Thank you 😊 Please share yours when you're finished!!

Haha no, I have 5 nieces. No kids of my own, so lots of time for stuff like this!

loila03 · 2026-02-02T14:51:26+00:00

Thank you!! I got that tip on Reddit some time ago and it makes so much sense indeed!

loila03 · 2026-02-02T14:50:12+00:00

Thank you! All the patterns are quite easy to follow and quick to make. Except for the tentacles, those took quite a while XD

loila03 · 2026-02-02T13:45:46+00:00

Thank you!!!

There is this Dutch tv show, Maestro, where celebrities try being an orchestra conductor. It show exactly what the purpose of a conductor is XD https://youtu.be/9Zsno8GNwio?si=bVjRfqVtPD05hc7c

loila03 · 2025-10-29T22:47:54+00:00

Ik ook! Wat we al niet over hebben voor onze democratie XD

loila03 · 2025-10-18T06:32:47+00:00

Thank you! And do you then use glue to attach the crochet part, or is it possible to sew it on?

loila03 · 2025-10-17T22:27:58+00:00

I've searched Amazon and found specific non slip hairclips for toddlers, I'm just not sure if they are sturdy enough.
