Hello October Octopus!

it's august by the way. I just wanna make a catchy title for my newest octopus amigurumi.  I made this octopus for my BFF, Gita, as birthday present.  Octoper (october Octopus) was supposed to be July Octopus, but I just finished it at August. since we lived at different city, I could only meet her during holiday.
I think I made octopus amigurumi several time, just like the frog amigurumi.  Maybe because both of them tasted good (?)

a photo session at the boarding house before the holiday. I can't find a better background here.

and another photo session at home, during the holiday. so green and Happy. see how different?

and this is the octoper with Gita and Me.  photo by Gita

before the holiday, I have multiple deadlines, mostly animation projects, so knitting this Octoper after hours of clicking mouse marathon was...stupid. I can't move any fingers after the last stitch. But I'm glad I could finish it right before the holiday.
thanks to @tjikini for all the caffeine during fasting month.  More deadlines means more coffee, that's the logic.
Tjikini is one of my favorite coffee shop, you should try it if you visit Jakarta. beside coffee, Tjikini also serve Sarsaparilla (the traditional "Tjap Badak" Sarsaparilla).  numerous of stranger ask me where to get Sarsaparilla in Jakarta, now you know the answer.
