.....since the weather still won't play fair, I decided to move some furniture around and find some "light" in this dark house of mine and just go ahead and photograph my finished hexagon blanket.
{ so sorry for the glare in some photos...it was hardly impossible to get any good light without the glare no matter what setting my camera was on...it's doing some serious raining out at the moment and I just couldn't wait any longer to show you}
What can I possibly say about this blanket.
It is by far my favorite one I have ever crochet. Definitely a keeper for me and a sense of accomplishment.
I've seen hexagon blankets all over the web, pinterest, other blogs, etc.. etc.. etc.. but never tried my hand at one until a few weeks ago. There was just something about these easy stitches that made each one a joy to work on. Never a dull moment. I never got bored with it. I got so excited when I joined a new color...it was pure happiness.
There are 165 hexagons total. Size is about 70x55 including the border which is just a row of sc, then a row of trebles and then another row of sc again. Very simple and happy with that.
I know I could have made a nice fancy lacy border around it but really I thought it was big enough.
Now I do wish I had more muted colors to work with. ( All from my stash ) It's sort of a mix of bright, dark, and muted colors and joined with a dark shade of gray. { it's not black...dark gray, but you can't tell by these photos} And even sometimes when the light hits it just right~ you might even think it's a blue..
pretty pretty!
I love it in every room of the house no matter how it's thrown.
I've even used it every night so far and it's so warm and soft.
I even gave it a good washing and dried and it's even more soft than before.

I even caught it in Lauren's room upon her bed but soon I snatched it back when she was at school.
I guess we will be fighting over this one until another is made.
Well, there a few more photos to look at for I just couldn't help myself.
So just enjoy them.
I am ready to move on to something else but not sure what it will be.
After this, I am sort of miss working on it so I might have to find another big project to work on.
I wonder what it will be??
Time will only tell.
