The hedgehog, he is done.

\nEm has dubbed him “Hedgie”

\nHe is so adorably cute, it’s almost nauseous.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Huggable Hedgehogs by Debbie Radtke for Fiber Trends<\/a>
\nYarn: Main yarn is Ella Rae Classic, Paws are Lincraft Cosy Wool, the Floof is Sandnes Garn Funny.
\nNeedles: 6.5mm and 8mm Knitpicks Options.
\nThoughts:
\nThis was a relatively easy knit. It’s all in garter stitch, the hardest skills required are picking up stitches and short rows.
\nOf course, short rows require counting, and I can’t concentrate that long, so there was some tinking involved.
\nThe Ella Rae Classic felts like a dream<\/em>. One wash cycle was all he needed to get to the feltedness I wanted. He did shrink quite a bit, but I didn’t think to take before and after measurements.
\nI picked up packets of cheap eyes and noses at Spotlight, and I now own enough eyes to make 6 more hedgehogs! If I were to make him again, I think I’d hold the floof double, as I think he’s looking a little threadbare. I might also use a darker yarn on his back, as I think the light coloured yarn makes him look even more threadbare. If I’d used darker yarn on his back, it wouldn’t be so obvious.
\nIn the end though, a complete success. He is intended for David’s sister, but I think there will be a struggle to extract him from Emily.
\nAnd just to push the cute level right over the edge in this post, I actually got Twinkie to snuggle with me yesterday morning. Please pardon the morning hair and pyjamas, I don’t think Twink would’ve let me go get dressed so a picture could be taken.
