Hedgehogs galore!!!

So my sister tells me, "Gus is getting too big for his hat.  He needs a new one."  So what do I do? Immediately start searching for an adorable pattern on Ravelry on my way to the yarn store.  I ended up finding the cutest pattern (Hedgehog Hat by Elise Cohen), and mostly followed the pattern until the end.  I'm very pleased with the outcome, and so is my sister. I'm pretty sure Gus likes it too.

So not to outdo myself or anything, but I did have some leftover yarn from the hat, so what better than some matching mittens?

I went with an I-cord to hold the mittens together, since (like many babies) he has a hard time keeping socks, and I didn't want the mittens to get separated or lost.

It took a tester to get the size right, and what I ended up with is probably on the big side for a 6 month old, but he'll grow.  I forgot to get a picture of the final product... too excited to give them to him, but I'll work on getting one now that he could potentially wear them.
