work in progress, crocheted hexagons with no purpose,
thread #50, diameter 3.5 cm (1.4"), same pattern as
the pattern for my blanket (CROCHET MOTIF ITEM,
ISBN-10 4415103650, ISBN-13 978-4415103655), larger photo here
There is some great hexagon love going on in blogland and on Flickr... amazing! Some of you ordered the book my hexagon pattern came from, others have figured it out for themselves.
All hexagons are looking great and make my fingers itch to get back to my blanket right away.... but I have just been casting on for my Hourglass Sweater and want to work on that for a while.
To keep track of all the growing hexagon blankets and see many hexagons united at one place I created a Flickr group. Come over and join if you have some (any!) hexagons to share. In case you don't have a Flickr account, just send me some photos of your project and I will add them to the pool.
Happy crocheting!
Edit: Margie (blogless) had been writing to me regarding the joining of hexagons. She had a question about step #20 in my tutorial and suggested to mirror the stitches to those that are being made on the preceding corner... I've been answering via email but my mail was being bounced... something that's been happening quite often lately.
So, Margie if you have another email address, let me know, please. I would really like to try to get back to you.
In a nutshell my thoughts on that topic: Mirroring the stitches would only complicate things and not really be visible because it all is being covered by the next to be joined hexagon.
Cheers!
Edit#2: I've removed the links to the hexagon patterns two clever crocheting girls had been writing... possible copyright issues. Hope you understand.
