I’m totally switching gears on a project. I’m not going to get into too much detail here, but I will one day. At any rate, I’m in full Christmas Gift Making swing and thought I’d try something new today.

I’ve got a need for speed and I’m going to blog about it!

I’m making a blanket for a rather tall individual. I decided on a hexagon pattern (I haven’t made one in a while!), and this is what I got done last night while watching Castle:

I only just noticed this morning that the first hex looks kind of Settler of Catan-ish. I’m thinking of maybe switching up the sizes of the tan-middles… we’ll see.

I’ll update this post tonight with how much I get done today. Wish me luck!

That’s 14 finished hexagons, all ends woven in except the last one… I’ll probably use those to join them.

Here’s a closer look:

I’m back to watching Castle again, and making some Granny’s Daughter squares. It’s just the first round of a regular granny square (*3dc ch2* 4 times).
