The Results Are In!

A couple of days ago I posed a question about a blanket layout. I didn’t just post it here, but also on Twitter and Craftster. The response was overwhelming, and who am I to ignore the masses?

So, tonight I started sewing together all of the finished green hexagons I had so far, using the winning layout (despite the winner being the opposite of the way I was leaning).

Here are the first two joined:

Looking good! Looking good!

What?

Oh! You went and looked at the various places I did the poll, eh? Well, aren’t you the thorough little blog reader!

Ok, I confess. I *meant* to join them the other way. I’m not sure what happened here. Don’t worry, though; I ripped out the stitching and did it right the second time:

I’m getting annoying little gaps in the corners, so I’m going to have to do something about that at some point. I’ll decide exactly what that something is once I get the whole blanket together.

Today at work I made some progress on the yellow star blanket:

I think one more work day and it’ll be done.

I’ll leave you for today with this final thought:

You know you’re a yarnaholic when you come home to find your stuffed bear reading one of your knitting books:
