O is for octopus

This afternoon at Panera, I noticed two little boys seating themselves at a table with cookies. Their mother came over to the table where we knitters were sitting. It was Heather, whom I hadn't seen for ages. I don't go to the evening knitting group, and the afternoon one doesn't fit into her schedule. She looked at me and said,
"You made the octopus for Ben, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"He took it to school the other day for show and tell for the letter 'O'."
"Great! I'm glad he still has it."
I blogged about the octopus here.
