hi there! 

i wanted to share the first monster i originally sketched up for the Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster  class on Craftsy. he's a take on the "ball monster" lesson where Stacey Trock teaches how to make spheres. 

i've been wanting design some fun sea creatures (i.e. squid, octopi, and the like) so besides working on spheres with this guy i tried to come up with a bunch of different tentacle options. i decided the best for my wiggle monster were long ruffle-like tentacles in double crochet... but i made up a few swatches for future projects! excited to see how they come out!

love.
