  2. I love joining hexagons! I think they are so much more interesting then the normal squares. Do you happen to know what the name of the bottom yarn is? Great pattern!

  3. Thanks Nicole - I think the bottom yarn is called "Impeccable" and I bought it from Michael's.

    Crochet dude - they are addicting, aren't they?
