Claude the Octopus - Finished!

 

I finally finished up Claude the Octopus.  All I had left to do were the eyes, and they were incredibly simple to work up, although stuffing them and sewing them to the head were a little bit challenging.  Getting the backs on to the safety eyes wasn’t easy either.  Getting the tension right on the tentacles was the most challenging part, and I was not entirely successful.  There are gaps in the crochet that you can see the stuffing through.  But not bad for my first attempt at Amigurumi.  He now hangs out on top of a lamp in our living room, keeping a sharp eye on things.
