and then there were none

I decided to make another squid. I can't remember if I mentioned this here or not, but I am working out a swap/trade with Gretchen Funk, one of the co-owners of the Triple Rock Social Club in MN. Triple Rock puts on lots of punk shows, and she has lots of old silk screened posters and show goodies that she has offered in exchange for amigurumis. Added bonus/fun fact: her husband is Erik Funk from Dillinger Four. So. She said because of her marital hookup that she could send me D4 stuff as well. All in all, total awesomeness.

So. She really liked the first squid that I made, so I made one just for her. I'm still not very good at the whole embroidery thing, but it's still pretty cute. I followed the gauge correctly this time, and this one is super tiny. It's about two inches tall, max. Seriously.

I'm also happy that I seem to have figured out my light tent settings. Those colors are pretty much spot-on. You have to love good photography. Lighting is soooo important.

Next up are a few raindrops, then to finish the cactus, and then some knitting. I have a stole to work on and I'd like to start a sweater. Maybe I should write my thesis, though ...
