I just finished this knitted custom order of my 'Octopus in the Shallows Beanie' and really like how it turned out with a green top instead of blue. She wanted seaweed added with the octopus and I like that too. The pattern is available on Ravelry. 🧶🦑

A knitted sewn on octopus is red, with green eyes and a black pupil.The same hat with a view of the octopus head and arms with 2 of them wrapping around the shell.A back view of the hat showing the wave pattern int he crown and a view of the wrack seaweed on either side of the octopus.

Took these shots this morning through a rather dirty bedroom window but didn't dare show myself outside. Times like this I'm always reminded just how lucky I am. This is in south central Oregon. Luckier still if he managed to catch a gopher. 📸🦉🌏

A Great Blue Heron stands at the edge of a canal, about 1/2 way up a bank, with the water behind and low blue-flowering Dowingia (I think) flowers at the top of the bank.The Great Blue Heron is now at the top of the bank and bent over, stalking through the Dowingia flowers (hopefully) for gophers. In the background is a cluster of taller Alyssums.Another view of the Great Blue Heron stalking for prey on dry land.
