Oh, good grief…while trying to whittle down my yarn scraps, I found three skeins of eyelash yarn that I must have misplaced in one of the bins!

@photojenn … I might need that hedgehog pattern to use it up!!! lol

Here you go! It was really easy to do once you stop trying to see what you’re crocheting when doing the body and just put your hook wherever it wants to go :joy:

I might have to crochet 50 of them…maybe I will just put them in the archival stash for generations ahead to wonder what in the world this was used for…Did I send you a whole skein? I can’t figure out why I have so many partially used yarn of this plus two not open at all…what in the world was I going to make? lol :thinking:

Just a partial skein, although I still have a bunch of it left. I could probably make a few more hedgehogs too.

I love it when you take an already extraordinary piece and make it into something even more extravagant! This is over the top with luscious fabrics and trims…and ruffles galore!

You’re so sweet to say this! I will say I did a much better job sewing the pillow cover than stitching the cross stitch with is riddled with booboos!

Blankets use up alot of stash.

The cats can all be different colours.

This one needs a base colour bit still a great stashbuster.

The flowers look great, you are cruising along and will have that shawl done in a heartbeat!

I bought the pattern for the Amazing Technicolor Dreamsweater by Stephen West, which could be great for scraps if you’re in the mood for another garment. He has a lot of other fun funky patterns too that could eat up your yarn if so desired lol.
