Happy Hedgehog Blankie

Red is a happy colour of yarn to work with!  Here's a recently finished project, in soft but practical Bernat Babycakes yarn (a cotton/acrylic blend).  I'm calling it a Happy Hedgehog blankie because of the cute and spiky edges.

I am also having fun with my camera these days and took no less than 42 shots of this blanket.  Of course, that was yesterday.  Today, after 14.5 straight hours of working (love my, love my, love my job!), it's all I can do to upload two photos.  I think I'm working in slow motion here.

Monochrome is a good look for blankets...but then again, so is two-toned and multi-coloured.  (Yes, this is yet another variation of an "old standby" crochet pattern!  Amazing how fibre and colour changes everything.)
