The are simple - you use tinsel yarn which is equivalent to chunky weight for the body - simple increases and decreases to get round shape then any spare double knitting for face and feet. Well stuffed and safety eyes and a fun xmas decoration is made. |

I want one   I thought they were huge pompoms that you had made VW they are too adorable for words. I am a hedgehog lover and have many a little creature in various forms dotted throughout my home. Did you know that the British Hedgehog Preservation Society is based not too far from your home VW in Ludlow. It is truly not as simple as increase and decrease  you have to use lay mans terms. |

Do you put a hanger on for the Christmas tree?

No Trisha - these are quite large - life size really. They can sit happily on a branch though ;-)

That’s a dangerous thing to say. I doubt if there’s any of us who wouldn’t want one of those for our tree.
I have a selection of Christmas cuddlies that I put round the lounge and under the tree. I love them.

I LOVVVE YOUUUUU VWUUUU  I have just opened my box of Christmas hedgehogs all white and cute and I have a little silver one that lives in a dome a friend bought me. I'll take a picture for you. Now then the gorgeous silvery white one would be divine and would sit in the centre piece display of the Christmas table on Christmas Day. A definite talking point. However, as Magggzzz says who wouldn't want one, so perhaps we should put orders in for next Christmas. xx |
