It’s done, it’s finally finished! At last I can cross the chevron blanket off my WIP list.

Yes, the ends need sewing in. Details.
I love my blankets with alternating BLO and regular stitch sections, but I think it worked better with the super chunky yarn I used for my massive chevron blanket.
Either way, it’s done and as soon as I get the ends sewn in this is going to my local cat shelter.
I also whipped up a wee birthday present for my dad, who loves hedgehogs.
It’s just shorter than the palm of my hand, really dinky and cute!
And look at the clever little bobble stitch feet.
I used this pattern for the body, modified to BLO to leave the front loops free for the spines. And this one for the spines (I don’t have any eyelash yarn) with three chains rather than four. I just can’t leave a pattern alone!
It’s so cute, I might have to make another one for myself.
A productive week all in all, so I’m happy. How’s your week been? Finished anything crafty? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks π The whole reason I made the blanket was because I had an idea about the colour change, so I’m glad it worked out!
