my creative space.

this week, i think you could probably guess what i've been working on...



more hexies!

my total for the month is up to 252! and i'm ALMOST out of the fabric that i cut out at the start of the month...



i feel another day of cutting coming up this weekend... and maybe a trip to the patchwork shop to pick up some more hexie papers! i opened my 5th packet of papers last night, which means i almost have 500 sewn up!
i also did a quick calculation last night (which i'm sure i've done in the past) and realised i'd need over 3000 to get the size i want! eeeeeeeeep!

in other news...



i cast some knitting on too! i was getting itchy fingers sitting at traffic lights (bad nicole!) and on the walk from my car to work and vice versa.
this is a request from a friend of a friend to re-create a much loved beanie. i got my hands on it, and took a bunch of photos and reverse engineered the pattern a bit... hopefully it comes together how she imagined it would!

what are you creating this week?

  2. 3 thousand!! Wow! Though it will definitely be worth it when it's all constructed.
    The different fabrics look really good together, I love the colours.

  3. It's almost knitting season again (these things are seasonal for me!). Time to get the Three Year Jumper out for another go!!

  4. So many hexies! Not sure I'd be patient enough to cut and 'paper' them all before making a start on piecing them.
