I can’t believe it’s been a month since I visited A Verb for Keeping Warm! It’s a wonderful store – the space looks enormous in this picture and I couldn’t even fit everything in.
It’s full of beautiful yarns, including Kristine’s own naturally dyed line and a carefully curated selection of other brands.
Plus there are colourful shelves full of fabric, which I managed to avoid because the ratio of my fabric purchasing > sewing was getting a little embarrassing.
Kristine hides behind a magical spindle tree.
There’s also a gallery space, currently exhibiting primarily knitted works by Sonya Phillip, who is not only a talented artist but looks adorable in Cria. That yarn, by the way, is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in Courage, a colour choice that Amanda can take full credit for. I was uncertain, but doesn’t it look wonderful? I’m rather excited now, because the string of pods on the right is on it’s way to Scotland – got to figure out the perfect place for it.
‘
And tucked away behind the counter is the dye studio, where Cookie and I got to play with strange concotions / take Adrienne’s mushroom dyeing class. I’ve promised to go hunting for “exotic” Scottish dye mushrooms for her.
I was so surprised by the colour range we got, this beautiful golds are admittedly mushroomy, but Cookie also ended up with a complex blue grey, which I don’t have a photo of, of course. It even smells kind of mushroomy and kind of like the woods.
They made me stand up and talk in front of a crowd of knitters for an hour, but people asked great questions and seemed interesting so hopefully I didn’t bore them too terribly!
Photo shameless nicked from WonderMike
And after the event we ate some wonderful food, including these perfect hedgehog mushrooms that we begged the waiter to bring out raw so we could photograph them. He did an admirable job of humouring us while hiding how weird we seemed.
The shop is filled with inspiration, and I found it a lovely place to get some work on the book done, but if you ever need a distraction Cleo, the resident pup, is always around. I’m very proud that I restrained myself from committing any dognapping crime!
I promised you that I would have something sweeter than a price increase for Valentine’s day and I don’t mean to dissapoint. Firstly, if you’re lucky enough to have Verb as your LYS you should really head over to the Ravelry party they’re throwing tonight – Jess and Casey will be there, and I really wish I could be too. Secondly, for everyone else, I have a contest. You may have spotted something of an adorable woodland theme here, and you might even have noticed a tiny hedgehog lurking in some of the photos. Well, quite a few of these pictures have a hidden hedgehog (she’s more hidden in some of them than others), so your mission is to find them all and leave a comment with the total. The grand prize winner will receive a package of goodies from both A Verb for Keeping Warm and me, and 50 runners up will receive a copy of the Smith pattern, so you can make your own wee hedgehog.
Thanks for playing! Comments are now closed and I’ll be in touch with the winners as soon as I get a chance to go through the data. In case you were wondering though, there were 10 hedgehogs hiding :)

I want to participate! Some of the photos aren’t showing up for me though? flickr is saying they are unavailable. poop!
My guess is 6!
I can’t either- same problem! I want to play the game!!
Sorry everyone! The photos should be working now!
I am taking a wild guess and saying 12. After a while I think I started seeing hedgehogs that weren’t there! A couple of of placements were clever!
Great post. I say 11!
Fun! I love a crafty scavenger hunt. I count 9 (including the dup)
One of the pictures is still not coming up for me.
9!
my guess is 11!
I count eight little hedgehogs, but one of the pictures comes up “currently unavailable” so there may be one in that photo too.
I spent a ton at A Verb for Keeping Warm booth at Stitches West 2 years ago, including the most wonderful gotland fiber I’ve every spun – it was softer and richer than any other I’ve ever found, wish I had bought more!
I count 7! Great pics — wish I was in Cal right now!
hmmm 8???
I can only count 8, but as others have mentioned, there is a picture I can’t see. You have some lovely photos!
What a wonderful and fun post!!!
I count/guess 9 :)
I was able to see that picture by clicking through!
I counted 10 wee hedgehogs in the pictures. :-)
I think I see 9!
I saw 11, that includes the duplicate picture.
14!
I can see 11…. but some of them seemed very small!
My guess is 9 well it was 8 but then i saw one what I think is a hedgie so I guess 9 :)
I just love a good hunt :D
I count 10. What a cute little hedgie!!!
I count 9, but there’s one photo not displaying, so in the event that that one has a hedgie in it, I say 10. I counted the duplicate picture as well, so if that’s not supposed to be counted, I have 8, and in the event of the mystery picture … I have 9. :O)
Oh dear! I didn’t do a very good job of putting these photos in, should all be fixed now and I’ll take that into account with you numbers :)
I see 9, also. Gosh, it’s minuscule in some of these photos! Fun contest – Happy Valentine’s Day! :)
I found 9….
what a fun giveaway! I counted 11 hedgehogs
My guess is 10 well it was 9 but then i saw one what I think is a hedgie so I guess 10 :)
I just love a good hunt :D

I have no idea whether I’m right, but I’m going with 11! I keep trying to re-count, haha.
How fun! :) I count 9!

I counted 10! But like others I think I’m also starting to see hedgehogs that aren’t there :) Lovely to see the AVFKW shop – I have some of her beautiful yarn from a sock club but am scared to knit it. The mushroom dyeing class sounds fantastic – would love to be able to visit someday.
What a nice post. I counted 7 hedgehogs!
I count 9 adorable hedgies.
I found 10! What a great contest idea, this was really fun – thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day!

I count 10. I’m looking forward to visiting their booth at Stitches.
11? i can only find 7. must look harder.

I counted 11 – wish it was my LYS, it looks lovely.
I see 9 hedgehogs…at first there were only 6….but they multiplied….beautiful shop, beautifully photographed.

Lovely photos, as always…
I recognize that Playmobil hedgehog! We have lots Playmobil in our house.

I think I can spot 10 hedgehogs. I think.
i spy 9 little hedgehogs ♥
I think I see 11…what a cute little hedgehog, and what a beautiful store! The selection, decor, people, and dachshund all look wonderful to be around.
I think there are 8, but some people see 9 or 11! such a cute wee hedgie.
I counted 9 … saw many blurred things that could have been hedgehogs ;) … but 9 definites! LOL
8, 8! I counted 8! And I adore that hank you’re nuzzling.
I also counted 9. This was a fun contest, but it kind of hurt my eyes – I was staring at the screen so hard.
13, and they’re so cute!
I counted 11!
Nine for sure, plus two of which I’m less sure, but my official answer is NINE.
I count 8, but going back for a second look….9….10! I’m going to stick with 10 even though others can see 11. I hope you’ll tell us where they all are when the competition is over!
I think there are 7, not as many as most people. I wish that was my LYS!!!
I spot 9 hedgehogs, but there are two brownish blobs that could be hedgehogs as well.
I went through and counted a grand total of 10 crafty placements.
Some were VERY crafty and one may even have been a full figment of my imagination…
nice contest, your hedgehog is lovely.
Felix
I count ten hedgehogs. The store looks amazing!
sooo… I say 10! very fun; what a wonderful shop! thank you for the giveaway.
I see 8, but i’m seeing a lot of people go for 9. Hmmm.
but I’ll play fair and say 8!
x
I counted 8. It would be lovely to win something.
counted 12 sweet little hedgies!
;)
A verb for keeping warm looks like a knitters haven, wish it was my LYS!
I am counting 9, but am not quite sure, if the knot on one of the skeins in the picture of Cookie A could also be one… but my final answer is still 9.
Have a nice valentine’s day!
I count 10! What a cute idea!
I count 10, although each time I go back and count I find another.
Great contest. Thank you and Happy Valentine’s Day!
I found 10 little hedgehogs! Lovely photos and lovely place!
I counted 7!
How fun! I counted 10!
I’ve been living in the UK for about six months now and hedgehogs are quickly becoming one of my favourite animals!
I only see 8, but agree with others that there are some smudges that could be a hedgehog in other pics. Oh well, I adore AVFKW! I was taking a weaving class there while you were visiting.
I thought I saw 11, but it’s a bit fuzzy, so I’ll settle on 10 :)
cool pics!
i count ten little hedgies!
I count 10 !
Are they playmobil?
I count 9! There may well be more, but my failing eyes couldn’t find them. :)
I am going to go with seven.
10!
I bet I’ll dream of hedgehogs tonight! I counted 10 but one of them I’m not entirely sure about, so 9 definite. Loved the distraction :)
i saw 8, though it’s early here, wishing all much love on valentines day.mwah mwah
I found 10! :)
i too see ten!
hmm, i see 9!
I think there are eleven hedgehogs. Happy Valentine’s Day!
10 hedgehogs. AVFKW, why are you so very far away?
Happy Valentine’s Day! I found 9 sweet little hedgehogs.
assuming some of the blurrier thing weren’t undercover hedgehogs, i counted 9 :)
Fun! I found 10.
I think I see 10 wee hedgehogs. So adorable!!!
I think they are 9, it was so hard to spot the first one, but after seeing him once it got easier.
What a fun contest! After some searching and asking my other half to see if he could see any more, I’m settling on 10. There are a few photos where the Hedgie could be hiding and I can’t make her out, but I think I can definitely see 10, so I’m going with that.
I think there are clearly 7 hedgehogs. The blurry ones I’m not counting because I can’t be sure they’re hedgehogs. Lots of fun though!
Doreen
I count 7!
Well, I counted nine, but I may well have missed some!
I counted 10. That dog is too cute!!
9!
I am going to say 7!
I counted up 10. That is a fab shop – I would love to spend hours in it!
Hmm… I counted 9, but then again, my vision is pretty terrible…
I think that I can find ten little hedgehogs.
I counted 8 hedgehogs
I saw nine on the first count, but then thought I saw them everywhere…..I’ll stick with 9!
I’m getting six of them. So adorable… are they for sale?
I counted 8 plus an Elijah in the first pic!
I found eight. Where would I hide if I were a wee hedgehog?
Hum… 7 (just saw the one in your golden treasure)
I’ve counted 7 little hedge hogs. Oh, I do hope I win! I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Hmmm, I spotted 9, is that correct?
I’m seein’ 8! My poor eyes…Happy Valentine’s Day! I lament missing your visit to the Verb!
I counted 9 little hedgehogs!
(that shop looks amazing!!!!!!)
That was fun!!!! I think there are 11. Eh?

I think I’ll go w/11 despite my need for new glasses.

i think there are 9! thanks for this sweet contest :)

I counted 9, plus some little brown blobs that could be shadows OR hedgehogs!
I count 8 of the little hedgehog. I didn’t add in the hedgehog mushrooms.
I think I count 10 little hedgehogs. :-) A very happy distraction of hedgies and yarn. Thank you!
I see only seven, but my hedge-spotting may be hampered by the size of the images my computer interprets from your photos. Your hedgehog is charming.
They’re teeny, but I see 10 hedgehogs. This store looks so awesome, I think I could spend days and never come out
My guess is 10 hedgehogs.
9 plus some a couple of dark blobs :) Seems to be a popular figure to arrive at.
I counted 10 lovely tiny hedgehogs hidden in various places. It looks like a brilliant store… Thanks for sharing the pictures!
9! Am I right? I hope I am! :)
I guess 10. Looks like so much fun! What a fun contest. Happy Valentines day to you! :)
I see 9!
I can only be sure I saw 6 hedgehogs in your photos. The store looks wonderful- wish I could visit!
If I counted right, my guess is 9.
I think there are 10………but after a while I think I was thinking other things were hedgehogs!!
Well, I’m going to guess 10 little hedgehogs and I have to say that store looks fantastic.
I’m pretty sure I counted 10.
I think there are 9; what a great shop.
I’m sure I can spot the hedgehog 9 times!
I’ve found 8. Lovely place. wish this were my LYS!!!<3
I counted nine.
My count is 9.
Thanks, Ysolda for introducing a great store.
I’d say 10 (though they’re probably breeding… :-))
Nine, I hope! I so covet AVFKW’s yarn.
9
I can count 10!!!!
I got nine! A fun game. :)
9? 11? I’m tired, and I keep getting distracted by the pretty yarn and bright sunny shop. :-)
Keep in mind this is before coffee! I counted 10. I just received my first package of AVFKW fibre yesterday- ridiculously exciting! it was my birthday present to myself.
My guess is 9! Such great colors to surround a hedgehog in. :)
I think there is 8!
I counted 9.
I count 8, but I am blind as a bat. I could be totally wrong.
between dial-up hell and photos not loading, I can’t play. I will sit in the corner and sulk and whimper.
I count 9! ;o)
I found 8!
I count 8, but perhaps I didn’t look closely enough at all the photos, since some people see way more than I did!
My guess is 7 :)
I counted 10! (or 9 + a shadow, but officially going with 10)
Lovely photos of mushrooms.
Lovely! :) I wish I could’ve come to Verb for your talk! I didn’t find out about it until it was too late, though. Boo. :(
I counted 10 hedgies. :D
I just found two more, so now I count 9 :)
I see 6 adorable mini hedgehogs.
i count 9. and i think the people who are getting 10 or 11 must be hallucinating! (thanks for the lovely contest!)
I counted 9 . I don’t live too far from the shop so I’m looking forward to visiting. Tamara
I count 9. What fun! I hope you post where they all are so we know which ones we may have missed.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I guess is 12. He’s pretty tricky. He hides everywhere. I love hedgehogs.
Oh no! I change my guess to 10 – I just saw another hiding hedgehog! I hope this is within the rules. I will keep 10 as my final answer now :)
11. I think. Fun!
I count 10 – great idea for the contest :)
10 hedgehogs.:) thanks.
Tricky wee hedgehogs. I spied 8. Thanks
I guess 9. I squinted a little, so hopefully I didn’t miss any!
There are 10 hedgehogs in the blog post pictures. The flicker photos actually have an extra hedgehog on another shawl photo not included in the blog post.
I’ve counted 8 little hedghogs. I noted the image numbers, but then I realized that is a bit OCD so I’ll leave those out. Happy St. Valentine’s Day!

Well, I see 8. My daughter used to have that same tiny hedgehog, it came in a playmobile set with a gardener, a wheelbarrow, veggies, and a pitchfork. I wonder where it went? (that was about 12 years ago!) Thanks for the fun! Shari in KY
I counted 12! This is really fun!
10! I had to get my glasses out, but I counted ten.

11
I found 11 after looking very, very carefully. Fun game!
I see him in 11, but I can’t tell if some of those are actually him or just small brown things in the pictures. :-) What a fun contest!
I see 10. Maybe 11, but I can’t tell for sure. I’ll stick with 10. I hope that I make it to the store someday!
My guess is eleven. I’d spend more time taking a better look, but I need to get to bed!
Hmmmm….after scouring the photos until my eyes crossed, I’m guessing nine!
I spy 8 but that’s just me and I could be hallucinating ;-)
I’m saying 12

I counted 9 but somebody claims they saw 14 and that makes me nervous!

What a fantastic post!!! I so wish this was also my LYS. swoon… I counted 9 hedgehogs. Fun fun!!
I counted 8!
I Love the color of the mushroom dye! I’m so inspired to try it out…

I see 11 – how fun!
I count 9 definite hedgies. So cute!
I counted nine of the sweetest hedgehog ever!
I count 8.
I found 9! Very cute!
What a wonderful valentine! Avfkw is my lys and I am truly blessed! Sweet pictures, thx. I think there are 11 hedgehogs, btw.

I counted 9! It looks like you had a wonderful time. I hope to go to the West Coast and visit Verb for myself one day. :)
I count 9. I’ve got to get down to Verb soon, looks like a spectacular LYS!
I’m guessing 10, though it might be 11
Hiya ysolda I think there’s 8 wee hedgehogs but am a bit cross-eyed now!!!
Can I request more Scottish pictures, your photography’s beautiful and I especially love Edinburgh shots. I’m a western general trained nurse and mornIngside flat renter from the 80′s and love seeing the homecountry pics as well as the woolly stuff
Hope you had a lovey valentines day!
Thank you for all the beautiful work!!
I count 9. Wish I was back home in CA!!!
I counted 10 — I live so close to AVFKW but I haven’t been to the new shop because I’ll been ill. I’m sad that international travelers are beating me there as I love Kristine’s yarns. I’ve never had trouble winding her yarns either — if all hanks were as nice and neat as them, I’d never complain about having to take the time to wind yarns.
I found 11! :)
What a lovely store!
I counted 10 adorable hedgehogs.
Hi !! I found 9 hedgehogs – a grate idea of hidden friends.
Best regards from a very cold Iceland
I only count 10 and i looked very very hard! if i’m wrong i’ll blame the fact that hedgehogs are completely foreign to australia and i have only seen one when i was very little, so they’re quite difficult for me to identify ;)
v cute idea and i’m v jealous of your trip to Verb!
Also Valentine’s Day is my birthday :)
I guess I saw the little hedgehog 10 times. Not too sure though. But it wouldn’t be any fun if it was too easy! :)
I can see & counted 10 but i’m going hunting again!
Funny contest ;)
I can see 10 hedgehogs
I’m going to have to go with 10 hedgehogs!
I think I see 11 hedgehogs. But you are a tricky one Ms Teague, so there could be more…….
;0)
OOooh a yarn contest and hedgehogs :) (though I am more of an owl person)
I counted 10 hedgehogs.
Cheers Paula.
I think I see 11 little hedgehogs… Although I might have been distracted by the cuteness of Cleo! Happy post-Valentines! :)
I count 10!! fingers crossed :)
I can count 10 but I’m sure I’ve missed one somewhere!
Okay — I could only see him in 9 photos, tho’ I bet he was hiding in a few more.
Nine, I think…………….. ((((((sqinting)))))))
kristinfitzgerald on Ravelery
I counted 10, but suspect there may be two more that my dodgy eyesight cant quite make out…
I think I can see ten. But I’m seeing hedgehogs everywhere now.
I will go for 10
I think I can see 9, yes, definitely 9!
10 :) although one might be just a leave….
I made a pair of Smiths for a wedding present. He is so cute!
I see 8.
Please re-post the pictures with the hedgies circled when this contest is over. It’s driving me nuts that others are seeing so many and I only see 8.
I counted 11. One was a little questionable, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! What a lovely shop….
11! (I think! I’m hallucinating hedgehogs!)
What an adorable looking store! I count 8….
I can see 9. I love the soft lilac yarns and definitely want to buy the entire fabric section! I really need to take a trip to the states.
I found 9…
I see 9. That was fun!
I found another… Please ignore my previous response and put me down for 10!! And that’s my final answer!
I counted 8.
I found 10!
I see 9 for sure and I think the first photo in your post also has a hedgehog in it, so my final count is 10.
thanks for the giveaway!
I’m going with 9.
EIGHT hedgehogs!!
and, I want to go to this yarn store!
I see 9 little hedgies. Supercute! I love where you’ve hidden them :)
My guess is 10 hedgies!
I believe I found 10 :)
I count 7, but she’s a really tiny little thing and I bet I missed some. Cleo looks like a sweetie!
10!! I wish I had a lys like that!
i say 8. cleo is Adorable–as i’m sure she knows well! & if they’re more than 8 (which is a good bet) i’m blaming the crappy resolution on this laptop, not my vision…;)
I count 11 hedgehogs…final answer!
I believe I see 12, but there’s a suspicious blur that makes me doubt my answer.
That was so much fun! Thank you!
I counted 12 and 2 blurs that might be hedgehogs, but I’ll stick w/ 12
i’ve found 8. :)
I spy 8 little hedgie hogs :). What a lovely shop ~ and sweet shop doggie :). Have a HaPPy Day :)
crystal
I see 11. What a great store!
I counted 10. However, i am terrible at things like this. I always over think things. Example: “I believe that smudge could be a hedgehog” or worse, “That’s just a smudge, not a hedgehog.” Anyway, i at least hope i’m close!
I count 10–what a fun contest!
I guess 14! And keep my finger crossed!
I found 8, hope that is correct! Great game!
I found 8 too – although I’m not sure one of them really is a hedgehog…. hmm
I saw 10, assuming we were not to count the mushrooms, which looked like they had an awesome texture! I would have had to pet them!
I counted 9. Nine little hedgehogs!
I see 11 hedgehogs.
I see 10.
I count 9
I found 11.
I see 10!
I found 9!
I’m gonna say 9!
I think I found 9 hedgehogs.
I think that there are 10.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Jane
I say 11!
How funny to look for the hedgehogs. I found 12!
i found 7! =]
I count 9!
I counted 9. I’ve always loved hedgehogs!
I count 10! And I’m not counting the mushroom.
How fun!? I say 9. Although I think I started imagining little hedgehogs towards the end of my count!
I’m going to go with 10. I think it might be 11 but I’m not sure if that’s him sitting there or not, so I’ll stick with the 10.
I found 11 hedgehogs. I was determined to find a twelfth because 12 is a nicer number (I think, in general, not just of hedgehogs!) but I couldn’t find one, so 11 it is!
One of my 11 hedgehogs I found on a photo on flickr that isn’t in the blog post, does that one still count? It’s a photo of shawls hanging on an airer………(perhaps the hedgehogs have made me start imagining things that aren’t really there!)
I count 10!
I count 12. :)
My guess is 9!
Hedgehogs, hedgehogs everywhere! guessing at 11 in all :)
i do believe there are 9. but perhaps there are more… as i can see others have said there are. but what fun you must have had staging the wee hedgehog throughout the store!
I counted 8 wee hedgehogs :)
This post is a lot of fun, thanks!
Beautiful pictures! I counted 10 hedgehogs.
I count 10. How cute she is!
I found 10!
I counted only 7. Isn’t Sonya’s artwork wonderful! So awesome you’re getting a string of her golden pods.
I count 10! This is fun! Thx!
I counted 9 wee hedgehogs.
I’m in for 9 as well!
I counted 8 little hedgies.
I think there are 8 hedgehogs!
Hi Ysolda,
I found 10 hedgies. It was a real pleasure searching for them!
Rebekah
I found 10 of them! Looks like you had a great time. Wonderful shop!
Daniela from France
I counted 11.
Love that pup!
I see 8 little hedgehogs!
I’m going for 10!
Eleven little hedgehogs hidden in the photos.
What a sweet love note to A Verb For Keeping Warm, Kristine, Adrienne, the wonderful staff and Cleo! You are just delight, Ysolda.
Wow, I thought I’d never find the end of the comments, lol. Anyway I found 9. Does it count if I noticed a him in a few photos before I knew I was supposed to be counting? :)
I counted 10 little hedgies. That dog is so cute!
Hedgehogs everywhere. Almost :-) I saw 11 well hidden ones.
well, i looked and looked and looked again… my closest guess is 9.
I see 8 hedgehogs.
Looks like a lovely store!
x
No 7, sorry.
No, 8, blimey….
9 is what I can see with my naked eye….so can’t find my glasses :)
I count 5. But maybe I need glasses!
Well! Including some suspicious shadowy characters, I would say there are twelve hedgehog manifestations.
I see nine hedgehogs … I think?
I count nine hedgehogs…thanks for the giveaway!
I count nine. All the guesses over nine are making me second guess myself, so I’m just going to say nine and stop staring at the screen.
I see 9, I think.
I found nine, I think. I saw some suspicious shadows, but nine concrete sightings.
I saw another one! Make mine ten!
I see 8, possibly nine but I think it is just the fabric. 8 was my first count so I will stick with it.
I think… I see eight. If she’s in the two with the branches I couldn’t find her…My! She certainly is a wee one!
I see 8? That was fun!
I see 11! :) I hope I’m not seeing things…
wow, what a beautiful shop! i wish i lived close enough to visit.
I counted 10 little critters. Thanks for your lovely patterns!
I’m counting 10… :)
This is a fun game…I think I saw 8 but I’m not sure and now I’ve gone cross eyed and i think I’m seeing the screen in 3-D
I count 10 little hedgehogs hiding in all sorts of places! They’re tricky little critters, they hide where you least expect it!
I see 9. What a fun little contest. :)
I got 11!
I counted 6!
I count 8… but am not feeling well so that’s my excuse if I’m wrong :)
I count 8!
I’m going say there’s 10 (that’s of the ones that were obvious).
What a nice little game for us, Ysolda! :) Thank you.
I counted 9 (I’m sure I missed some)!
9! I can only see nine without going cross-eyed! Lovely photos, and lovely knitting as always!
I can definitely see 11 little hedgehogs. And I thought I saw a Smith in one image, which is also visible in another as well. If we’re counting him then my guess is 13. If it’s just the little gal then I’ll go with 11 =)
The shop looks lovely. Yet another reason to visit San Fran and Oakland!
I thought I found 11 little hedgehogs so that is my guess! 11!
Thanks for the fun contest, I wish Verb for Keeping Warm were my LYS!
Hi Ysolda,
I count 9 little hedgehogs!
I count 8!
I think there are 9 hedgehogs.
I see 9 for sure!
Hi Ysolda! I counted 12 little fellows. Fun! :D
I counted 8 all 3 times I looked through the photos. I did start to go a bit cross eyed though.
Nine! I think. Fun!
My guess is 10. He sure is tiny!
ys! It was so fun to have you! We can’t wait for you to return :)
My guess is 8 – that was fun!
I counted ten! I had a good laugh each time I spotted one in some of the more tricky hiding spots. Thanks for the fun post and contest!
I also count 7. Hope I win! Love Verb!
9? I’ll go with 9.
I counted nine. I asked Cleo to confirm but she just stuck her head in my armpit. No help there.
I went cross-eyed trying to find them all, but I think I found 8.
I can count only 6!
I found 11! :)
Definitely 10!
Thanks so much for this contest, I loved looking for the little hedgehogs. If I get picked for one of the hedgehog patterns, though, you can give it to someone else, since I already own it and I don’t know anybody to give it to.
What a lovely place! So sorry it´s so far away from me.
I count 10!
The store looks wonderful so maybe I’m lucky that I don’t live anywhere near one because my wallet would most likely suffer a painful demise in there.
Anyhoo, I’ve counted 9 hedgehogs.
*fingers crossed I got it right*
Pretty sure I counted 11 first time, then only 10 second time. One must have nipped out for a cup of tea (or maybe slug juice)!
My final answer is….er….10?!
My count/guess is 10!
I think I may have seen 10 ??? what a fab game and a wonderfully inspiring blog!!
What a beautiful and fun post! I can’t wait to see Verb at Stitches!
I think I can see 11 hedgehogs, including the duplicate.
Ysolda, what a fun game! Happy Valentine’s Day to you! I think I found 11 photos of your adorable hedgehog. (Can I also say, “pick me!”?)
How fun! I counted 13 hedgehogs : )
That is one tiny hedgehog! I counted 10 (ten). Thanks for the contest.
I recounted and found 10 wee hedgehogs!
I see 6… hope I don’t need glasses :)
I counted 7! What a great giveaway/game! Thanks.
I count 9, I think, unless I’m imagining things=)
Well my old eyes can only find 8!
All those lovely pics make me want to get in the car and go visit Verb…
This so much fun!…I counted 11 little hedgehogs :)
I think 9. (maybe…)
My guess is 10. What a beautiful, creative space! The yarns and fabrics are dazzling.
Ten! I live close enough to visit, but haven’t made my way over yet – I will definitely do that now!
I count 11! Gosh, those are hard to see! Went to VERB for the first time at their grand opening. Such a cool store.
I can’t see all the pictures for some reason, but extrapolating from how many I found I will guess 11.
I’m one of the lucky ones to be able to visit Verb when I’m in the area. =) I counted 10 itty bitty hedgies!
I found 9 darling hedgehogs!
I see nine in the blog post…
Thank You for the contest!
Now I can see all the pictures… I count 9!
I saw 8 little ones! cute
i’ve found 10 (so far)!
I count 8 total hedgehogs. (I think there’s a children’s song waiting to be written about hedgehogs hiding in a yarn shop.)
Seven
But then I counted ten. I’m sticking with ten.
Poop! I mean 9!
I see 10 wee hedgehogs!
I see 9 hedgehogs!
I counted 9 hedgehogs. Thanks for the fun seek and find game!
I counted 12, but it’s hard to be sure? Now I see hedgehogs everywhere!
Now I see only 9!
I found 11 hedgehogs . . .
I think I found ten wee hedgepigs snuffling around and generally making a racket. I like this game!
I found 10 hedgehogs.
I spy with my eyes 10 adorable Hedgehogs! I will definitely be visiting A Verb for Keeping Warm in the future!
I think I counted 9, there may be more but they were too small for my tired old eyes to see :)
How I wish I lived near Verb….
I count 11, but it was hard to tell in a few pictures. Thanks for the offer…
I spotted 10.
I only see six, and I’m sticking to it!
I spotted 10 (although I’m a bit iffy about one). What a beautiful LYS – we don’t seem to have anything like that in Australia :( It looks so inspiring!
I counted ten although I think there might be one in the picture of the wall of yarn, but I can’t be sure so I am sticking with ten.
I count 9! This is fun! :)
I have never won anything and I love hedgehogs! I think there are 8 — what a fun idea! Can’t wait for Little Red…
Cheers!
Whoops–found another that makes 9!
Ha-so excited
I believe I saw 9. What fun! Thank you!
I think I saw 9…
Looks like lucky 13 to me.
I think there were six hedgehogs?
I found 8 definite and a possibly hedgie blob so I’m saying 9
My guess is 11, although for some of them I’m not sure. What fun to look!
My guess is 10. Your wee hedgehog is adorable!
i think I count 11!
Thank you for a fun hunt. I sure enjoy your blog and creativity. I count 9 hedgehogs. Thanks for all the fun times.
I found 8!!
Awesome Store!! Would love to visit. I found 10 Hedgies.
I see 9?
You always have the most AMAZING photographs. They make me want to run into a yarn shop and go crazy with yarn. THIS yarn shop however looks amazing. I live in Berlin,Germany and have yet to find a yarn shop this inspiring. I am not saying the ones here aren’t great, but the one in your picture looks SUPERB.
Oh, and I guess there are nine little hedgies !
I found 11 :)
Can I join even if I’m living in Sweden?
Cute contest!
11 :)
10! There are 10!
Wish this was my LYS! Those mushrooms look tasty – I can almost smell them! I found 10 hedgehogs (eyesight permitting). Thank you for this contest Ysolda!
Hello Ysolda
Hedgehogs/ Hedgehogs everywhere I have counted 10 but, there
maybe more.
Such wonderful photographs what a wonderful and rich tapestry
of life you lead Ysolda but, there again you are one clever yound
lady.
Best wishes Jean
Well, after counting and re-counting I came up with 11. Hm?!!?
I found 7 adorable hedgehogs. Now I want one for my very own!
Fabulous shop!
Well I tried very hard but I could only find 10…
I’d love a Smith of my own.
That was fun, what a beautiful shop. I’ll say 11 not counting the real Hedgehog mushrooms. One photo was a bit blurry and I imagined seeing a 12th but I’ll go with 11. I’m a knitter and mushroom picker in Pemberton, BC Canada (by Whistler) and you’ve now inpired me to dye some wool with mushrooms. I would have done the same with the Hedgehog mushrooms, love it !!! Cheers Jan
Definitely 10 distinct ones, plus two maybes. I’ll stick with 10!
I’d venture a guess of 10?
I’m going to say 11! Cute post by the way, I wish you were able to post more often!
I found 9- and whether I win or not I had a lot of fun looking…..:)
Thanks!
I only count 10 so I’m probably wrong!
I’m gonna say 9. Could you show us where they are once the contest is over please?
I count 11! I counted twice and came up with 11 both times. Some were really tiny!
I can see 9 hedgehogs!
My guess/count is 8.
Nice game, anyway. ;o)
Nine?
I counted 15. I might be seeing hedgehogs where there are only wee bits of brown yarn. Or maybe I have eagle eyes!
I say 10. (fingers crossed)
I see 12!!
I counted 11!
I count 11 wee hedgehogs hiding in that glorious store. Wish I was there to explore the store with the hedgehog!
I have the hedgie in 9 photos.
My guess is 7!
Hi Ysolda,
I totally enjoyed seeing you at Verb and hearing about your new book….can’t wait to get it!
I am seeing 10 hedgehogs, but I may be hallucinating?
I see 7.
I count 9, but that is with one picture not being available. I SO wish I lived near Verb!!!! But the founding fathers of New Hampshire decided otherwise…obviously, they were not knitters.
I count 6 wee hedgehogs and am so excited that I will be finally visiting verb next week after only having access to her on-line store.
I counted ten (10).
Now my eyes are aching from leaning so close to my screen, and I’m worrying about seeing tiny hedgehogs wherever I look. Some of the placements were quite clever!
I count ten (10).
Oh my, I think 11! So fun!
I found 9
I found 10! I’m lucky enough to have AVFKW as one of my LYSs and I was there for your great talk – it was very interesting, and I am so impressed at how thoughtful your design process is, Ysolda. Thanks for being so considerate for the whole spectrum of us lady folk! Although my favorites are your adorable stuffies ;)
I found 11! Love the pictures. Love your patterns.
I found 5 hedgehogs! Hope the little dog doesn’t count as one… And the Damson is gorgeous!
I counted 11 I think but started to feel a bit sick from staring and squinting at the screen! A lovely idea for a competition though, I love hedgehogs.
I’m starting to see hedgehogs where there are none! I guess 9!
I think there are 10, plus 1 for the mushrooms! What a beautiful store!
9 confirmed hedgehog sightings!
I can only see 8 so I’ve probably missed several! Sweet hedgie.
I think I see 10.
These hedgies go up to 11.
I know I saw 9 for sure… although I seem to be seeing tiny hedgehogs everywhere now…
I count 11 :-)
I counted 10. :)
I seen 12 and a very cute little dog.
Final answer: 10. Such a cute hedgie.
I count 9 x
I found 10 – some of them are really wee, not sure if I should trust my eyes or not! Lovely photos in any event.
10! Thanks for the distraction!
I counted 7, some were so tiny! I’m wondering if I missed some even smaller ones…
11 for me!!! Well, thanks for this fun contest, and keep up the good job! I wish we had more stores like this great one in France…
Very clever – I overlooked loads of them the first time because there’s just too much pretty in that shop. Some are tough to see and I think I might be hallucinating, but I think there are 10 in the pics shown on this post.
I’m gonna say 10 and keep my fingers crossed!
I see nine, assuming the hedgehog mushrooms don’t count :-)
So cute! I found 10 hedgehogs. Some cleverly placed!
I found 6!
I count 10 happy hedgehogs hanging out waiting to be spotted by hopeful knitters!
I see 9 plus a shadow tat may be one, so I will go with 10!
Eleven (11)
I managed to find 6. Love the mushroom dyed yarn by the way.
I see 9! ( 9 is my lucky number so I’m sticking w/ it)
What a lovely shop and a doxie too!
I found 10!
I’m sure of 9 but there is a suspicious splodge! but it is such a persuasive splodge! so I spy 10 hedgehogs sitting in the shop :)
I counted 9 but one of them I was just hoping it was. I doubt that I’ll win, but just looking at the pictures was a really good prize! I’d love to go there sometime. Spindle tree? Fabric? and all that Fiber? I think I’ll have to win a lottery first!! Off to see the Smith pattern!
I think I see 13… I hope?
I have a question about the Lee pattern. after you knit 4 turn and then you are supposed to purl to the end do you just purl 4 back then or go all the way round to the where you turned? thanks!
LYnne
I count 11! Fun competition BTW. Thanks.
9 I think.
Thanks for sharing!
sorry. make that 10 :)
My guess in 10. Looks like you had a great holiday!
I found nine that I am absolutely certain are teeny cute little hedgehogs.
I say 7
I think I saw 11 of them too! But some pictures I blurry and I can certainly can imagine a few more ;-) Fun, fun, fun! And I love the name of that LYS! It looks so inviting too!
Wonderful photos! I’m going with 11 hedgehogs.
I think there are 10, but one of them I may be making up. Cute though!
I see 9 adorable hedgehogs!
I see 10! I think.
I think there are 11. Unless my eyes are inventing nonexistent hedgehogs. Which is a distinct possibility…
I think I see 10.
I see 10 little hedgies and one weird little blob which might be a different kind of hedgehog…
My brain is conjuring up hedgehogs everywhere! I think I see 9 when I get my specs on!
I see 12 little hedgehogs! Cute, cute little hedgies!
I see 10 cute little hedgies! My eyes hurt a little now. :)
My guess is 11 hedgies. :)
12 – I think I saw 12 :)
My vote is for 10! Oh, pick me!
I found 10 (I think)!
I found 11.
I think I see 11…
wow those hedge hog mushrooms – what did they taste like?
I only see 7.
i counted 10 little hedgehogs, that was fun!
6. Two photos didn’t show up for me.
I was able to find 10.
Fun!
11 it is! YAY!
I count 9…yeah, going with 9.
I count 9 :)
I think my eyes kept playing tricks on me…I’m going to say 9 is my answer, but I think I might have spotted two more in the mix…all in all, this was so much fun! I wish I had a cute LYS like that near my house!
I’m going to say 8.
I counted 11 (I think)!
What an awesome yarn shop! They don’t have them like that here (New Zealand). Though there is one starting up this month over in Petone (by Wellington) that sounds like it’s aiming to be not ‘just a shop’. It’s still an hour drive for me though.
I think I saw 10. Fingers crossed!
I say 10! They’re all so cute.
I spy 11 little Hedgies
I am going with 9. Although I think I am wrong but I was starting to see Hedgehogs everywhere!
I see 10 little hedgehogs!
Well, I found 10….
I think it is 12 like others I started to feel that I was seeing a figment of my own imagination.
Hmmm… I found 9, but I suspect more are sneaking around!
10? My eyes are starting to play tricks on me! :)
I found 10! Hope I’m right…
I see 11 hedgehogs. It took me a while to find one! It is soo small. Cute though. Love the store. Wish I lived closer!
My guess is 11, I love some of the placements.
I found 9!
I *think* 11!
There were at least 9 for certain… so 9 is my guess. I’m probably wrong, haha.
10?
I found 9. Now I wonder how many I missed :)
I counted 12 hedgehogs, 13 if you count those marvelous mushrooms!
Isn’t AVFKW an amazing shop?! I was so disappointed to miss your talk, am proud to consider it one of my local LYS’s.
I found 11 I think.
9? I think?
9!
I think I saw 11, but she’s very tiny and good at hiding.
I definitely counted 12!
My guess is 7 little hedgehogs.
I think I got 9. Cute contest!
I am so impressed with the beautiful yarns and colors from this wonderful company.
Every time I count a see a different number – 11 is my favourite and I am sticking with it.
Fun contest!
10… Possibly 11, but it’s too blurry and tiny to make out the shape so I’m guessing by color.
9??
I spy 8 with my little eye.
How fun! I think I spotted 11 wee hedgehogs.
After spending waaayyy too much time looking, hahaha! I think I see 8.
Currently knitting mousies from Whimsical. Hedgies are very cute too!
9 !!
I do hope its nine :)
10! I have two doxies and love them to bits. You should get one and join the crazy doxie lovers :)
I counted 10, but some were very, very small…I could be mistaken.
I found 11 hedgehogs!!
Hm, I’m going to go with 11.
I get a different answer each time I count…..I think it’s 9.
10 (ten) hedgehogs
10! I had to blow up the pictures to count, and still waffled on a couple. Thanks for the fun scavenger hunt.
10 hedgehogs? This shop looks awesome!
I counted 13…
I say 11. Fun post but really hard to see them all.
xo M.
I love hedgehogs! I would love to knit one for my new grandson, who is due in 2 weeks!
Tiny, tiny hedgehog! 9, maybe?
I guess 17. Woo!
I count 9 wee hedgies!
I counted 9 :)
I found 10 hedgies!
I see 9!
I saw 11 lil hedgehogs! They were all very cute.
Ysolda, what a wonderful contest. I love games like this. I see 10 lovely hedgehogs…they are adorable. I can’t wait to see really how many hedgies are in the photos.
I found 8!
I found nine. I couldn’t stare at the mushrooms for too long–oh, they give me the shivers. But the yarn and fabric I can’t stop staring at. ;)
I’d say 9!
I love a treasure hunt. I count 10.
Oh, so many comments! Well, I did count hedgehogs, so why not enter anyway. I see nine hedgehogs, incredibly cute too :)

10… i think :-)
Hi Ysolda,
I counted 14 little itty bitty adorable headgehogs!!! Boy, there were some tiny one and I used a magnifying glass on top of the monitor, lol!!!
Thanks for throwing some fun our way….
I counted 14. Cleo is a variety of prickleless hedgehog, right?!
I keep seeing hedgehogs everywhere! I will settle on 11♥
I see 5… But I wear glasses:-)
Hmmm… I count 10 plus one phantom hedghog-ish thing, so I guess I’ll go with 11.
12 from me. So cute, and such fun!
I think I see 9……..
I counted 8 (I think). Fun game, and cute hedgehog!
Oh maaan…okay, I see 9 hedgehogs, but I also see two little brown blurs that I am guessing lots of other people have counted as hedgehogs as well, hence the 11s…eek, I’ll guess 9. And probably be seeing hedgehogs out of the corners of my eyes all afternoon. Whee!
I count 10!
Keep my fingers crossed…
Lucky 13 for me.
I think there are 11 hedgehogs and I want to move to San Francisco just to live near that shop!!
I count 9 – wow what a way to get me squinting at the screen!
I count 9 :)
6? Maybe?
I count 10 :)
I found 9 hedgies.
That was so much fun! I found nine little hedgies.
I found 10!!
I see 10 hedgehogs (not counting mushroom).
I can see 9 cute hedgehogs! Fingers crossed now…
I think I see 9.
I can see nine of them! What a nice contest! Cheers!
I say 9!
I counted 7. I love hedgehogs! Cute!
guessing 10, but can’t wait to see the answer!
I counted 6 !
I’m going with the nine (9) hedgehogs I’m sure I can see! Thanks for a fun contest!
I see eight.
I’ve counted 10 on the photos within the blog – but noticed there’s another photo with a hedgie in when I clicked on the flikr photostream for a closer look (so 11 hedgies in total!)
What a gorgeous shop, wish it was close enough for me to pop into!
My guess is 10!
I count 9!
I saw 12.
I counted 8. :)
Hmm. Maybe my glasses need updating. I saw 8!
I see 8!
I’m thinking I see 14 of those cute little buggers. Probably by the end of my searching I was cross-eyed and seeing double!! Great game and beautiful pics. I’m sure you didn’t bore anyone…you wouldn’t have bored me!
I’ll say 10. It would help if I had a screen larger than my iPhone…
9 (?)
I count 9….
I’m pretty sure I saw 11….
I’ve seen 10! O_o
I count 9 but I’m going to go study some more and see where these questionable hedgies are!! Thanks for the fun contest :)
I count 9 appearances of the hedgelet, but 10 if the hedgehog mushrooms count too!
I counted 8! Beautiful photos.
11 cute hedgedogs!!!
I found 11 hedgehogs, I wish I was there.
I think there might be 9 – I hope so.
7 with my aging eyes
I count 10!
I see…. 7? I hope that’s correct O_o
I counted 9 !
Like Nigel Tufnel would say: ” The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and… ”
Thats my official guess: 11
I officially found 11 but I think I see a mirage hedgehog? So that would be 12, but I am saying 11! And that’s my final answer. 11!!
Thanks for the fun!
14
I count 10 but there’s probably one I missed so my guess is 11 :)
squeeee! bitty hedgehog!!!
oh right. ten. i counted ten. i’m sure it’s wrong, but that’s how many i counted.
10 I think … but I’m a little cross-eyed from seeking :)
Hello, thank you for the game! I’ve seen 8 headhoges (or… maybe I must say that it is always the same traveler headhoge, like the dwarf in Ameliè, the french film, sending funny postcards from where ever he was!)
10? :)
I think I saw 9… but she may have been hidden very well in some of the other pics. Adorable, BTW!
Oops… can I change that to 10?
i found 10 on my small screen.
10 is what I’ve found. Darling little hedgehog and what a wonderful shop!
I found 10 happy, cute hedge hogs lurking in the beautiful LYS.
11 if you count the beautiful edible hedgehog mushrooms in the bowl.
I guess 10 hedgehogs. Very pretty store, wish I could visit soon as I have been doing some natural dyeing myself :)
9 wee little hedgies (though maybe I should have my kids count – they love this game!).
What a great looking shop – I would love to go there sometime :)
I see 9 hedgehogs. Ever seen a baby hedgie? They’re so stinking adorable!
So tiny!
Are there 9 hedgehogs?
I counted 9 cute little hedgehogs!
I spy ten!
Let’s go for 10!
I definitely see 10 … but it could be 11 (very blurry) so I settle on 10!
I’m saying 7–final answer!
I finally took time to comb through each photo and would like to say I found 10 photos with the wee hedgehog in them. Nice placement btw.
I definitely see 10, but then there is a possible blur to make 11. I’m going to stick with 10. What a beautiful store!
Nine :)
Lucky you, traveling to such a lovely looking shop!
I think I see 11. Hard to tell on some though!
ten! I think
I also see 9, though one might just be a smudge :)
I found 7 cute hedgehogs.
I see 9!
My guess is 9!
We think we see 11 very wee hedgehogs hiding! (Eagle-eyed youngsters helped.)
I found ten, but I think it might be time for new eyeglasses! All very cute…
i count 9 I think!!!!
i count 8! but now my eyes are tired:) i heard your interview with the knitmore girls and i just loved it! :)
My guess is 10 … that was fun :)
I think I counted eleven! What a fun game!
I wish this was my LYS so I could learn about dyeing with mushrooms (not to mention what an amazing store it appears to be!)
10, and would you please explain to my children why I have the laptop two inches from my nose and am muttering to myself about hedgehogs?
I found 6.
What an amazing store, and the mushroom dyed yarn is truly stunning!
I counted 11 definitely, and there is a possible 12th one, but perhaps my eyeballs are messing with me! Wish I had an LYS like this!
I found 9 :)
10?
I see EIGHT!
I counted six hedgehogs.
I see 10! I love the little hedgehog. So cute.
I count 10 of the little cuties. Hedgehogs are my favourite :)
I can see eight.
My eyes say 9 but my brain is suspicious…
9!
I guess 10!
What a marvelous visit! I so wanted to go to Verb when I was in the Bay Area in September, and I was heartbroken that they were moving right then and I couldn’t go. Thank you for sharing your visit.
My guess is 10!
I found 9.
My monitor isn’t the best but I’m reasonably sure I’ve seen 10 hedgehogs :)
Fun contest idea!
i know i see 7… unless little blobs count…. in which case~ there are some more~ :)
My guess is 10. Love the photos, by the way.
My guess is 11 – but what a strain on my over 40 eyes!
I see 9!
I counted 7
