Hedgehog the Grey and ...?
I got the "Huggable Hedgehogs" pattern from FiberTrends for my birthday from a couple of my World of Warcraft friends, complete with yarn and stuffing and whatnots. :) Here are the results:
* 
To the left, pre-felted hedgehog; to the right, post-felted/stuffed/face-added hedgehog! Same sheep in both pictures for size comparison. Yarn used: Cascade 220 for the grey wool, an inadvertent scrap of Wool-Ease for the black, and I'm afraid I can't recall what the eyelash yarn is. Eyes and nose are the small plastic kind that you poke in from the front and secure with a button thingy.
I'm terribly pleased with how he came out. He's cute and soft and fluffy!
The sheep in these images is a Russ sheep, one of my favorites. He's about a handful worth of sheep, and usually lives on my bedframe. :) I can't remember where we got him, but I think he's a post-Seattle sheep.
Now for the other thing I've been working on (in addition to the Flower Basket Shawl, which looks much the same as last time):
Yarn used: KnitPicks Wool of the Andes, Chestnut. A little over a skein so far.
It looks kind of like a misshapen lump, doesn't it? Well, hopefully it'll be out of that uncomfortable adolescence soon and headed toward the finishing stages, because I've got yarn for about four more of these in that brown, plus one or so in light grey and one in drab olive (all different 100% wool yarns). What is it? I'll give you a hint in the form of a link. Next time I should have it done, and the next one will probably be on needles.
The sheep in this picture is another sheep from Russ Berrie. Russ makes wonderful sheep! This sheep always seems to be offering a flower (and he's not the first sheep in the collection who looks like that). I think it makes for a very spring lamb-type look, but it decidedly isn't spring anymore! Indeed, we are getting into winter, and I plan on getting socks going again soon. SheepLad needs warm feet! :)
