 A Hedgehog Fail & A Bike Ride 

    Today as it were, I spent about five hours knitting what I thought would have been a really cute hedgehog, but turned out to be a mouse with long hair instead!  Unfortunately, as a designer you spend a lot of time, well, designing, and sometimes things don't end up working the way you expected things to!  That's okay!  I think it's really important to remember that not everything is perfect and looks amazing 100% of the time! I hope we can all live in a world where we fail, and it's not seen as something that is a bad thing!  Failure brings in new ways of thinking and I hope this hedgehog fail brings me closer to designing a cute one! Here is a picture of the brown and teal yarn that I used.  The brown was hooked on his backside as the "prickles" and the teal was a hat that I made the little hedgie so he wouldn't be cold.  I will have to share with you what he looks like in the morning when there is more light.  On a positive note, I picked up cycling.  Biking is so calming to me, especially where I live, with moutons in the east, and the prairie to the west. I had a very lovely afternoon.
