I've been getting on with crocheting hexigons
when I can carry only a small
bit of wool with me
and when it's impossible to lug along.......
my Granny Stripe Blanket
I've tried out a couple of designs.....
and a few colours
and have to say that I really like these blue mixes and....
and I think I prefer 'African Flowers by Heidi Bears (in Ravelry)'
But the jury's still out
as I'm aware there are an awful lot more patterns
out there...
any ideas/suggestions?
I still have to sew in all the ends...
and....
decide what I am going to make with them.....
any more suggestions!?
With the hexigans
I wanted something light and easy to do when I'm sitting with time on my hands.
I shall be taking them with me when
I go into hospital today.
The hospital is 100 miles away and I have to phone at 10am to see if there's a bed.
If there is I'm due for back surgery on Tues
I'm taking my iPad with me so hope to catch up with all your doings...even if I can't write myself!
Otherwise I'll.....
catch up again in a week or so I suppose!!!
I love all your hexies but particularly Heidi's African Flowers.They're so pretty. What about a 'seaside' blanket made of hexies all in blues, greens and other seaside colours? I've seen quite a few of these being put together recently on various blogs - I guess because of all the Summer visits to the beach - and they look stunning. A lovely way to remind you of the summer during those dreary winter months! If you look at this link http://aheartfullofdaisies.blogspot.com/2010/12/vision-color-palettes.html and scroll down, you'll see a colour palette for the sea which is gorgeous. Hope that helps and good luck with your surgery. x
ReplyDeleteWish you good luck with the surgery. I like african flowers very much. I still have lots of them, I used to crochet them 2 years ago. I did make a bag with it. I have seen beautiful blanket with them too. Groetjes, Gerda

I hope all goes well for you in hospital. I really like the blue/green circles, they will make a very pretty blanket.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue mixes of colors as well, for your crocheted hexigans . . . A lap blanket or wrap would be pretty. I'll be thinking of you these next days and hoping for all things to go perfectly for you. And I will look forward to your "iPad touch" connections with us!
ReplyDeleteI like the blues best, but I am really anxious to see your finish product. Smiles, Susie
