Excuse the toes just poking in at the bottom!
I am now on the 4th row and love how it looks, but I'm afraid I've become a bit obsessional about the randomness. I know that I would favor colours if I was just picking out of the bag, and some of you may have seen my bar chart with the circles but now I'm joining them up that has vanished. So I created this..
Each hexagon is numbered and the top shows the 2nd round, left top shows 3rd and left bottom the 4th!!! All this so I know that there are not any repeats yet!
My husband thinks I've lost the plot and I think he way be right ; )
I have also managed to finished two other objects this weekend and will post those this week hopefully. One is a Christmas present for my sister. I'm hoping to do a few homemade presents this year either something woollie or sewn! It means you can make things so much more personal.
I really look forward to Tuesdays to see the progress of everyone's projects, hop over to Gingerbread Girls to see all the great creations others have been doing.
This is very pretty and you are very organized :) Love your diagram and your attitude that hand made Christmas are very personal. Agreed!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, with a hint of Cath Kidston in there!
ReplyDeleteI nee to research how people do "randomness". Can turn into quite an obsession here as weel, and in 5 colours I'm in the same dilemma.
It's looking great and I love your approach to it too. It's not something I would think of doing, and you're right about favouring colours when picking from a bag "randomly" as I finished my kids' blanket with almost an unused ball of red in my "random" basket :)
ReplyDeleteI always manage to get my toes in the pics!
ReplyDeleteI love your work and how you are planning it, it's going to be fab!
Great looking blanket. Sure it will look fantastic when finished.
ReplyDeleteI must say you have far more patience than I do making each one individual. well done x
gorgeous colours and you are so organised. fab progress
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this blanket, and the random colours are great, love the table hehe. Nothing wrong with a bit of crafty craziness xx
ReplyDeleteClever idea to have a chart to guide you, especially when joining as you go. The blanket colours look great. Like Sarah, I also found my red yarn to be the smallest ball at the end of doing my granny squares blanket! Must be something about red.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! My husband would be on your side with the chart. I think my random choices are doing his head in! LOL This week I made a bigger square and threw it in the match, you should have heard him! haha! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos it's looking great, your spreadsheet made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteAh the beauty of planned randomness. I love a bit of spreadsheet, bar chart, graph organisation to keep everything perfectly in order. Beautiful blanket.

Your blanket is going to be amazing, I love your colour choice. I wish I could be so organized too.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week! Barbina
Your variety of colors is perfecto! How cute you're all organized w/the creation of hexagons and how to lay them out.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very organised approach to your hexagon colours!
ReplyDeleteThey look great :)
Those hexagons are looking fabulous, the colours just look better and better.
