I am so close to finishing the Beach comber jumper as I only have 1 sleeve left to knit and I finally cracked the crochet pattern but my Hexagon obsession has taken hold. Every time I get the knitting bag out I seem to drift across to the crochet hook. Its also because the hexagons are very portable. As I am making them all individually I can take one ball of wool and a hook pretty much anywhere. So the tower gets higher....
I think they look pretty cool
On Mothers Day we stayed home so I sat with a glass of fizz and started adding the white border to them all
144 seems like an awful lot of hexagons and they are pretty big so I laid out all the ones I had made so far to see how big a blanket I could make
Not nearly enough for a double bed so back to making them...144 of them.
Meanwhile I have started a new job as a dog walker and have been enjoying the patterns that nature shows us
Especially when only half frozen
Normally ice freezes in triangles because water molecules are triangular but there was no triangles in these patterns
Maybe I should make the border on the hexagons bigger, giving it more of a patch work feel
hmmm that doesn't seem to have worked, too many stitches. I will have to block it to see how it looks then
Meanwhile the weather has been odd on my first week at work.
Snow Monday, frost Tuesday, cold sunshine Wednesday, warm almost t shirt weather Thursday and torrential rain Friday but the views are stunning

Lets see what weather this week brings.
