Happy Birthday, Mom!

Mom thinks hedgehogs are awfully cute. I saw this pattern a while ago and knew I had to make her one. It was a quick little present that gave me a little break from studying. (Here's
another photo, for a sense of scale.)

(The face is made with Debbie Bliss leftovers from the baby dress and the body is Fun Fur that Dava gave me. It had been knit into a cowl and had to be unraveled. This turned into the party game at my going-away-party in Boston, and I didn't have to undo any of the nasty snarls that this stuff gets into!)

Now we'll just have to make sure that mom's boys don't think that this is a toy for them.

Max says, "But I'm Mamma's perfect baby. I could never be mad... Besides, that's Fun Fur. I prefer wool-silk blends, and Trekking XXL sock yarn."
