So, i've been working away on The Hexagons but i have been getting a little bored with it as it's very repetitive so i thought i'd make myself a quick something!
This is the Twist and Turn Throw from Red Heart. It's a bit daft really, i was looking through my magazines and blankie books to find just the right pattern and i found this one in "The Ultimate Blankets Handbook" a magazine with 28 crochet blankie patterns in it, some of which are very lovely indeed but i decided i wanted to make the one that was just featured in an advert!! LOL
It's an absolutely lovely blankie featuring a centre circle which then morphs into a hexagon which then becomes a rectangle!
Ingeeeeeeeenious! :oD
I'm using chunky weight, or two strands of DK and a 7mm hook and it's working up nice and quickly, the above photo is the result of about 8 hours of hooking! The wool i am using has come from various places, i picked up a lot last weekend at the CKG swap meet where a local lady had donated all her stash to our group as she has had to give up knitting due to illness and there were a few different odds of pinky colours that went well together plus oddments from the loft and some of my Countrystyle DK stash is being put to use!
We each took a few extra odd balls with us on Saturday to make some 8" squares with to make a "thankyou and get well soon" blankie for the lady so i have been thinking about what pattern to use for them too.
My deadline for The Hexagons is approaching rapidly but i am confident i will finish it in time, just as long as i don't let myself start anything else in the meantime! LOL
