In the last week and a half I have been devoting my time to this. Keito the Ninja Squid. He is an 8-foot tall giant squid plushie and he rocks my socks off. :XD:

Not my first experience making a plushie (I have a half finished penguin chilling out somewhere), but definitely the most intensive. Five pounds of stuffing. An ancient sewing machine (the Elna 500 Electronic :lmao:) that I've never used before. Hours upon hours of hand sewing. AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.

. . . I want to make Keito a plush shuriken.

Do you want to make your own giant squid? :D Click the following link for the pattern: [link]

ETA (09/27/10): Just a heads up: the giant squid pattern doesn't belong to me! I just made it and felt accomplished. ^^;

Thank you! :hug: I'm glad you like him.

He is pretty cuddly. :nod: Having your own giant squid plushie is a little like having a body pillow with legs. :D Unfortunately the pattern is weird at times, but I encourage you to go forth and squid!

And of course, thank you so much for the fav! :tighthug:

Maybe one day when I have finally finished all the orders I have I will make my own!

It'll be pink and they can be married and have baby squids!

Aww, it sounds adorable. I eagerly await this day! :D Though what color would the babies be?

For a while I considered making a white squid with red plaid to match . . . but then I figured that would get dirty too easily. That and I really don't want to sit down and make all those stupid tentacles again. ^^;

THEY WILL BE THE BEST BABIES EVER. :XD:

Haha, the tentacles aren't that terrible. :P I just had a bad experience with cutting out the wrong number, and subsequently wasting fabric that I needed! ^^; I think about every other project I work on results in fabric cut incorrectly, so it's really just my fault.

I try to be sparing but I always end up doing something blindingly stupid.
