My Hexagons are ready to swap. I finished weaving in the ends of all 48 motifs. It’s taken me 4 days of the 28 set aside for this blanket to complete the last of the motifs, weave in ends and set them aside in plastic food storage bags (to keep them clean and odor free) until the end of this month when they will be sent to their destination for swapping out. I may have to add one or two more hexagons depending on the final count of people participating in this swap.
Honestly, when I saw the picture of the finished blanket on the pattern cover, I wasn’t so sure I’d love making the motifs. The colors didn’t do the pattern justice. Boy, was I so wrong! I can now say that this is one of my favorite motifs to work on to date. It looks like it takes a lot of time, but it really works up quickly.
I began making them in groups of 12, starting all the centers first and then adding each consecutive row to for each of them at the same time rather than working a complete motif at one time. I think that’s what helped me work them quicker.
Day 4 of 28: (Jan 5) Weave in ends, set aside for swap at the end of January.
