Octopus?

I set myself an impossible task- I want to crochet this octopus

by next Thursday night.  I didn’t realise quite how complex the pattern was until I bought it last night- and now I am crocheteing in a frenzy to try to get it done.  I must admit it doesn’t look promising- considering I am only half way down the top of the head still and I started it last night.  I guess I should be thankful for small blessings, like, I had yarn on hand that I can make a good start with and can easily purchase more quick at Spotlight or Lincraft…

I guess it just depends on how much other stuff has to get done between now and then.  Happy Gerbera anyway…
