Happy late birthday! 50 is the new 30! Just my luck, I'm almost 60! :-O I'm almost finished with my hexagon granny.
ReplyDeleteDid you get any comments from people who saw you crocheting at the doctor? I always seem to get interest in waiting rooms.
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte. :)
ReplyDeleteKatherine - I didn't get any comments from anyone because believe it or not, no one else was there. Just me and the receptionist. :)
Pretty motif Debi. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Debi! Gotta love those hexes, they are so much fun and you can use them in all kinds of projects. Sorry I missed your birthday so I send you a Happy Belated Birthday wish for many more. Hope you enjoyed your special day and that you got your cake too :)

ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wish Susanne. :)
Dear Debi,
ReplyDeleteoh I really like this hexagon!
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us!I hope your brother is fine and everything is okay!
I send my best wishes and many Greetings,
Marion
Very nice! I tried another hexagon pattern some time back and it came out so tiny! I would have to make a million to get anything from it. Will have to give yours a try! I take crochet wherever I go too! Sure helps to pass the time in a productive way. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteLooks like I missed your birthday too. I hope it was a happy one.
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty Debi, I don't think I've tried a hex shape yet.

This hexgon looks like it'll be fun to handle. Do you keep making hexagons and sew them together or just make the hexagon bigger and bigger?

Hi Roberta. Both ways would work to make up a nice afghan.
DeleteLove this hexagon!
ReplyDeleteI want to make this bigger but not sure how. Can anyone figure it out?
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a larger motif, but I think it can be done. Just continue to increase the dc's along the sides while skipping the 2 dc's before each corner shell. :)
DeleteI believe that I found a mistake in round 5. After the 4th repeat, shouldn't it say "skip next 2 dc, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in ch-2 sp, skip next 2dc, dc in next 3 dc?" Maybe I am wrong, but can you check to make sure that this is correct?
ReplyDeleteHi there. Yes - it should say "skip nest 2 dc" and then follow the rest. Thank you for helping me out with that. :)
