  2. Did you get any comments from people who saw you crocheting at the doctor? I always seem to get interest in waiting rooms.

  3. Thank you Charlotte. :)

    Katherine - I didn't get any comments from anyone because believe it or not, no one else was there. Just me and the receptionist. :)

  8. 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

  11. 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?

    1. Hi Roberta. Both ways would work to make up a nice afghan.
