Good job!
That looks amazing for a first chenille project!

Achiness is kinda normal, pain isnโ€™t
If your hands feel achy when using chenille these could be some of the reasons:
Not taking any/ enough breaks,
Using a hook without a grip,
Your tension is too tight or your hook is too small (based off the picture I donโ€™t think this is true),
The project is big and heavy so it stains your hands (itโ€™s probably this one),
Or youโ€™re just not used to using chenille!

Looks great, the aches could be the tention you are using, or maybe try a new crochet hook, there are many out there, i like the padded handle ones myself, and i dont by expensive ones.
