So here is little octi, he is about 8 or 9" big.
He is made from 1 whole ball of wool, quite bright orange and so I hope you can see him properly, the camera was freaking out at the colour. I love the colour though it reminds me of handknitted jumpers from when I was little!
You can see how he could be a spider if he was black too!
I wanna make one with longer legs too but basically you wind a whole ball of wool around two sticks (say 2 legs on a stool) the simply tie off his head in two places, then cut the wool at the top to make his hairdo and cut it at the bottom to make his legs, split legs into 8 and plait them!
My friend says she got the eyes really cheap from Wilkinsons in East ham- 75p for loads!
Usually they are much more expensive.
Maybe if I make another or if you wanted me to teach you could take photos step-by-step of the process??
You can see he is settling in well with his new friends- Mrs Mills, little black girl and Frog-face!
