Stash buster projects. Puffy Heart. Mini Octopus.
I'm always buying pretty multi-coloured yarn that I never end up using for anything so I decided to try and use a bit of it up.
First I made up my own stuffed, puffy heart. It's cute but I would like to edit it a bit next time I make it I think.
After this I just had a small amount left, not enough for another heart so I browsed through Ravelry to find something cute and small to make.
I decided on this cute little Octopus, you can find the free pattern here. It has a photo tutorial which helps nicely if you are a beginner.
