Happy Crochet: Jumbo Crochet Hexagons

I haven’t had much time to craft just for me lately, but I did take a break last night to stitch this jumbo hexagon. The plan is the gradually chip away at a whole blanket. I love crocheting these. Check out this link to the very inspiring Attic24 blog if you’re interested in making some hexagons, too.

I have been working on my hexagon blanket for almost a year now & it’s almost done! there are several pics of it in my flickr set http://www.flickr.com/photos/18290729@N02/3867046989/in/set-72157619425648151/

Nice work! Thanks for sharing, Ellyn. What kind of yarn are you using?

Jennifer, the hex looks snazzy. I tend to be more knit-oriented, but I like where you are going with this!

And Ellyn: wowser. Your blanket is gorgeous. I love how it looks both spontaneous and compositionally balanced at the same time.

Love the colors! Well, now I am going to have to start on one too! By the way, I love the Attic24 website. She has such a wonderful sense of color. So do you! Thanks for the inspiration, Jennifer!

One thing I want to do in photoshop is to learn how to make a person look older or younger, professionally.

Hi Jennifer! I love the colors that you’ve chosen. I’m kinda new to this whole crocheting thing, so I don’t think I’ll be able to come up with anything creative yet. But I will be hanging around your blog for a bit. :)
