On the hooks: The epic octopus

Y’all know that for weeks I have been fooling around trying to get the octopus done for work.
I started it! (Hooray!)
I got some Red Heart Soft in Eggplant and went for it.
I found this pattern is from Lion Brand on Pinterest and it calls for working in the round which was a bit difficult for me until I used a stitch marker (my new favorite tool!). 

So far I have the head and three legs. If all goes well I’ll be done by the end of the week.
Enjoy the pictures!
