What a lovely story Liz. ❤️ We have tried to entice hedgehogs into the garden but no luck so far. Perhaps we have too many dogs and cats nearby? Harley is a super little fellow. I love his boots and mitts. And I sympathise about the prickles. I would love to make a hedgehog but they really put me off.

@Liz M: Thank you Liz. I hope so too. That would be lovely. 🥰
Thanks Helen. I enjoyed making him, if it wasn't for the time the prickles take I'd make it again, they're not difficult, just very time consuming .Our neighbours cats and the hedgehogs just ignore each other now. The cats went to sniff at them and when they encounter the prickles they learn to stay away. Hopefully you'll get some in your garden one day.🥰

I love hedgehogs and he is super cute Liz
Thanks Julie, George thinks he is cute too. It's fun watching them. We have a large, clear upturned plastic crate where George puts a dish of dried cat food in for them. You can see when they go in for a feed, so if one is inside and another turns up they puff themselves up and make their spikes stand on end, so they look huge. Sometimes there is a wee scuffle before one gives up. The crate is needed as otherwise the neighbours cats eat the food😂😂, so the entrance is just big enough for the hedgehogs, although there is one cat, Eva who manages to slink in sometimes - it's hilarious to watch her.

Ohh he is sooo cute Liz, look at wee Harley sitting in the tulips, I hope he doesn't scare the real ones.lol.😂😂I love his wee red boots and mittens and I agree with George he doesn't need a Xmas hat. Now Liz you say there are 3 hedgehogs in your garden and you have made Harley so does that mean you are going to make Hedley and Hop-a-long as well.😉😉😂😂💓💓

@Liz M: maybe you could make a wee Buddha and put him in your garden, I know you love them.😉😉😂there are sooo many amazing amigurimu patterns, I look at them and go Liz could make that, and that and that.lol.😊😊💓💓
Thanks Michelle, not saying never to the other two, but oh the time it takes to do the spikes makes me think twice. Trying to decide what to do next.🥰🥰

Cool Harley hedgehog, Liz 🥰. What a lovely pastime, watching what your visitors get up to at night.
Thanks Linzi, yes, it's fun watching what they get up to. They don't particularly like being together, so sometimes you see them doing what's called a "ram and roll" as one rolls up into a ball and the other shoves them about to try and dissuade them from being there. 🥰

Lovely to hear you have hedgehogs, Liz. Heard the numbers are rising slowly . My son saw one in his garden this week. Can't remember the last time I saw one. Love your crocheted Harley , beautifully made. Perfect for George ❤️ 💕😊🤗💕
