<- Over here is Quadley's cousin, Pently.
During the war against the fire nation, two of Quadley's tentacles were burned off in an attack by a fire nation soldier. His fourth tentacle is growing back, but there is no hope of his fifth tentacle growing back. In a lucky coincidence, Quadley is named after the number four and he has four tentacles now.
The real story behind Quadley is actually a little less tragic. I was originally going to make Quadley a pentapus, but I ran out of room to put tentacles. Due to my slight laziness, I did not cut the tentacles off. It would just be easier to make up a cute story about Quadley.
I need to work on gauge, one of Quadley's tentacles is a lot smaller than the others and he isn't circular shaped like he should be. I don't truly understand gauge and will need to read a lot for next week.

I have commented on Jessica Sweeney's blog, Ashley Ok's blog, and Sun Min Kim's.
I have to admit, I love Quadley. He is adorable. He also makes a great hat. Also, you seem to have a great grasp on the basics of crocheting. And another thing, you have some of the best voice when you are writing this blog. It is interesting to read the story of how Quadley lost his one limb. It feels as if you are actually talking to me. The images are a great enhancer for your blog. One thing I should suggest is to have a distinctive plan. Your plan simply states that you need to learn a new stitch. You do not explain how you will go about learning this new stitch. Also, explain why you need this stitch.
