mio I got all of my hexagons finished:
They each measure about 5″ from side to side. I’m thinking of joining them with sc stitches… I’ve never really liked the look of that joining method, but I’m going to give it another try, as whip-stitching them all together isn’t my idea of fun.
It’s NatCroMo; I’m supposed to have fun!

No Comments » March 9th, 2010 mio Hey look, a hexagon!
Here’s the (lazy) pattern:
R1: *dc, ch1* 6 times
R2: *3dc in ch1 sp, ch1* 6 times
R3: *3dc, ch1, 3dc all in ch1 sp* 6 times
R4: 1dc in each previous dc, *dc, ch1, dc* in ch1 sp (8 dc per side)
R5: same as R4 (10 dc per side)
I’ve made a few of them:
What could I possibly be up to? ^_-

I am now taking bets on whether or not this blanket will be finished in time for Big On Bloor.
As for yesterday’s post, well, I’ve lost the sunshine for the day, so just imagine that broomstick lace blanket as being twice as big as it was the last time you saw it, and imagine that rainbow round ripple blanket in the state you last saw it as well. ^_^

I thought it would take a lot longer than it did. Here was my secret: double strands and a big hook. Everyone should try this!
A lot of you guessed (although, not in the comments! *shakes a fist*) correctly that this is a Settlers of Catan blanket. To answer the most frequently asked question about it: no, I won’t be making the cities and settlements and roads, etc. It would take forever and besides, the goal here wasn’t to make a soft, giant, usable playing board. The goal was to make a blanket!
Mission accomplished:
December 29th, 2008 mio Just posting an update on the Mystery Project!
I’m almost done the border:
I’m thinking that it needs a few more rounds of blue. Thoughts?
Once the border is done I just need to make up some number disks and sew them on. Hooray!
