New Project
For the first time in ages, I've decided to make something for myself. I've been eyeing this pattern for awhile now and I finally got up the nerve to go for it. Isn't it beautiful?
Mine is going to be a blanket for our queen size bed. This will be the biggest crochet project I've ever done. I love the bright colors in this one but it doesn't match our room. So I got yarn that does:
Here is what I've accomplished so far today:
(It looks a lot better in person than it does in this picture) I calculated that I'll need about 288 hexagons to make a blanket large enough for our bed. 6 down, 282 to go!

I want to make this too:):) Oh, wait, first I have to learn to crochet:) I just started knitting and am so enjoying it.
Oh my goodness, what a big project! But I love the ones you've done so far. I'm a neophyte crocheter, so I really admire you for this great, big project! It will look fabulous when you're finished.

Your color combination is lovely! That is going to be a beautiful blanket when you are done.
Very cute! I have always wanted to learn how to do this. Can't wait to see the finished blanket. ;)
That blanket is beautiful. Good luck with your new project! :)
