Joining in with Tuesdays Tallies

This is my first time of joining in with the One a Day over at Gingerbread Girl. I was a late starter but felt that I wanted to catch up , so I have fitted in wool time where ever and whenever I could. I am making the Hexagon blanket from Attic 24, I think I've made fairly good progress


26 wonderful wheels and 1 hexagon. 

I'm hoping to join as I go and am a bit scared of starting, but hopefully will get going this week. 
I have also spotted that a purple and dark pink are slightly too loose on their outer round so they will be unpicked later. 

I am finding I am becoming slightly OTT in my method of making the colours random but ensuring I'm not favoring some. My ottoman as been over taken by my live bar chart



It is the only way I can see at a quick glance which colours next! I hope I'm not the only one with a mad system.
