Soctopus

Here is a picture of the soctopus I finally finished. I'm made this for my youngest grandson for Christmas. He is only 3 months old now so I figure that he could use it for chewing on when he starts teething. I'm still deciding weather or not to embroider a face on it. This used two pair of women's trouser socks and a bag of filler. Gee that hand sewing sure did a number on my elbow. I never thought that holding a needle would make it hurt as much as it did. I'm going to have surgery on my elbow on Nov 6th so I'm trying to get done all the things I need to before then.

Mug Rugs, Soctopus, backpack

Today I worked on a variety of items. I started a Soctopus when I ran out of stuffing so off to Walmart I went. While I was out I also did some other needed running so it wasn't as if I just went to Walmart which is a half hour drive each way. I'm hoping to finish the soctopus tonight and tomorrow I will share pictures of it.
After getting back home I worked on my Mug Rugs for my dyeing group swap. I made 8 of them but don't know how many I will need to make. Sign ups for this swap closes the 1st of Nov.I started working on a backpack with drawstring top. I'll get it finished tomorrow.
