I have always found hedgehogs to be charming.
But, we have a greyhound, so we could never have a pet hedgehog. (’Mmmm, tasty’, I can imagine him saying….)
So, recently, when one of my readers asked me if I would make a teardrop shaped tatting shuttle, I did some sketches, and played with it, and came up with:
I am VERY pleased with it!
It tats like a dream, not at all spikey like it’s real life inspiration.
I love it when fun things evolve out of conversations with my hankering for yarn buddies!

Very cute, I can’t wait to get mine! Maybe today the mail man will finally bring my hedgehog and little birdie from you, shuttles, that is, LOL!
That is totally adorable! I still need to learn how to tat one of these days…
That’s so great! I’ve come to your blog before for your knitting patterns. I didn’t know you tat, too! So do I! Yay!
AH, then, Chloe, perhaps a Hedgehog tatting shuttle should scuttle it’s way under the Christmas tree?
Hi Tatting Chic
Hopefully the mailman will be kind and deliver the tatting shuttles safely!
Hi Beth
Yes, tatting is one of my great fiber passions. I always carry tatting shuttles in my bag, and whip them out when I have to stand in line, or have a minute or two to bliss out. Tatting = happy.
I really like your hedgehog, what a unique idea.
