Hex-Love

Remember how last week I got a bit crochet-obsessed?

Yeah, that didn’t fade away.

I’m crocheting a bunch of these hexagons to make a blanket for my bedroom (lots and lots and lots of green scrap yarn).

I start with cute little circles, crochet as many of those as I feel like and then I move onto,

adding the second round. I usually do one round of that and jump right to the last round:

And at this point, I stop and move onto the next hex. Because though it’s not a full hexagon left, I want to join them together as I add the last brown, hex-making round.

Every circle is going to be hex-ed with the same brown yarn (I think it’s an alpaca/wool blend, but a big bag was given to me un-labeled, so I’m just guessing.

Since I want to join them as I make the last round, I’m waiting until I’ve made a LOT of circles, because I’m afraid that if I join them as I go, the colors will be clumped together and we can’t have any color-clumping!
