My Favourite Space & A Completed Hedgehog!

After listening to the most recent KnitPicks podcast with Kelley Petkun about comfort while knitting, I took a look at my knitting space. I recently received a gorgeous brown leather tub chair which is the most comfortable chair in the world. It is so popular in our house that He Who Pays has maybe sat in it twice since last Friday. That may also say a lot about the pecking order!!

Anyway I have totally claimed this chair as MY chair and it sits between my lovely warm fire and my stereo and has the perfect space next to it for my knitting box (which my lovely boys gave me for my birthday) with my current work in progress in and my handbag with my iPod and phone.











Now I just need to knit a lovely fluffy cushion for it. Any ideas on patterns?

And the hedgehog is complete:

Another fantastic pattern from the lovely designer Alan Dart but quite fiddly to sew up. My dad loves hedgehogs so I think this will be a welcome 70th birthday present.

He also requested a pair of fingerless mittens so I am going to knit up a pair of Dashings for him from Knitty with some black watch Aran yarn to match the hat and scarf I made him last year.

My to do list keeps growing and growing!!
