I can see the softness of the yarn on your photo, it really looks so delicate and I want to cuddle the photo (especially in the light colors). So nice you are making a gift for your neighbor and I am really curious what it will be (I at first thought it to be a toy mushroom :-D)
Oh good, mission accomplished! ✅
I really wanted to share the details so well that you could see for yourself how soft it is, yay!
That's a good guess ;)
