Squid gallery
Last post about the giant squid pattern, I swear. From here on out, this post will be updated with pictures of all the different squids people have made. And oh please keep sending them, I get such a kick out of seeing the little ways people tweak the pattern. It’s practically Darwinian.
Cat-loving squid from Mandy, via email
Angry-looking squid from Matthew
Bo Squiddley, by bunsen_h; and it looks like it will be in good company with a couple of other seriously dorky stuffed guys in the background. Also a new adorable 1/10 scale squidlet from bunsen_h!
From Amanda, who also made one as a boyfriend present (with the good idea of filling the ends of the arms with beads or rice)
A squid named Demsela Howard, from Marie; it was her very first sewing project (ambitious!)
Pink squid from Julie K; she says her name is Lumpy.
Amy says: “I made one out of old t-shirts because I had no fabric and an abundance of XL shirts (that were given to me by my robotics coach) that I was never going to wear. So here’s a picture of me and my squid made out of old robotics team t-shirts. I named it Robby.” Hell yeah, science girls.
Another first sewing project! “I thought I’d send a picture of Sir Squidimus (named for Sir Didymus from Labrynth) along for the gallery of squids. Oh, and my sister made a squid, too (she made her own pattern). His name is Carl and he’s the one made with the Yoda fabric.”
Sheik Yerbouti made Cthulhu for a friend for her birthday.
Another squid for a friend (SquEd, made for Ed)… with the addition of googly eyes!
Veronica made this big green guy for her kids.
Squid-Billie, by Nicole. I love the HUGE EYES!
Oh god, this is my favorite one yet: “My name is Billy Arrowsmith. I made my own squid as a present to my wonderful girlfriend Julie, for our one-year anniversary of dating. She was, if I do say so myself, very pleased with it. Even if her parents think I’m a little bit weird.” Well done, sir!

[...] 09) Another fun tutorial, instructions for an 8-foot giant squid pillow from PWStyle. I’m considering making one of these too… they look so great lounging on couches in the squid gallery! [...]
I don’t think your weird! your AWESOME! Julie is lucky to have such a great guy like you! Not very many guys would take the time to make such a great gift!
I am very lucky. He’s the best.
I keep the squid on my bed… there’s no room left for me!
I showed this to my boyfriend and he demanded I make him one.
(I perfectly willing to make such a neat thing, though. haha) Whenever I can get the material, I already have the colors picked out for mine and his. This will be my first sewing project. 
I made one, so I was wondering were do I send the pic. I want it posted here too.
Kyaa! I can’t wait to put this pattern to use and make my own squid!
Thanks so much for putting this up~!
