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

    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. :)

    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

    That'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.

    I want to make this bigger but not sure how. Can anyone figure it out?

      I 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. :)

    I 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?

      Hi there. Yes - it should say "skip nest 2 dc" and then follow the rest. Thank you for helping me out with that. :)
