These are the lastest three of the six huggable hedgehogs I have made this year for baby gifts. Two of my coworkers and one of my cousins are all having babies in January/February, with two girls and one boy in the bunch. The previous three were for boys, so I was happy to be knitting with some more girlie colors. They are a lot of fun to make and I think they are super cute.
Right now I have a lace scarf and a simple shrug on the needles, and both are being made with yarns from the Knitpicks lace sampler. It is very dangerous to buy so many yards of yarn when it is on sale. I am itching to start something on slightly larger needles, so after I find some fantastic handles, I'm going to start a handbag out of banana fiber yarn my mom gave to me. Since it came with no gauge or care directions, I went searching around the net for some information on this unusual fiber. I ran across this website with a review of the yarn. Thank goodness I have the undyed one. I'll probably end up doing a few test swatches myself to see how it works out and if I can add another yarn for some color.
And now it is time to introduce you to my little boy:
This is little Jack sitting on his pappy's lap on our trip to NC to visit our family. Isn't he sweet?Time to start clicking the needles!
