Materials

Loops & Thread "Snuggly Wuggly" in Cobalt, Fresh Green, Soft Lilac. One skein each. And one skein of Stylecraft Life DK in Silver Grey. Size F hook.

What are you most proud of?

Just finishing it. The Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly is awful. It's tangley and splitty. It's soft, sure. But a wreck to work with if you have to crochet *into* a stitch.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

CARRY YOUR YARN UP THE SIDES (unlike what the book says, which is to finish off each row)
