~ yarn, coffee and a no name hexagon ~
Yesterday morning my Mom had another Dr. appointment. She was having a stress test done and I had alot of time to kill (the test took 3 1/2 hours). Since I didn't want to go too far - I went across the street to the Bowie Towne Center. I went into the AC Moore again and picked up some more yarn.
I also needed some coffee and the only place I could find was Starbucks. Worst coffee ever. It was so strong I could of made 3 cups out of it and when I dumped it out after deciding that I just couldn't drink anymore, it had coffee grounds in it. Gross. What a complete waste of money. Give me McDonalds coffee anyday (or Tim Hortons if I'm in Canada) and I'll be happy.
I did have some time to crochet too. Since quite a few people seem to like the 'squircle v-3' - I wanted to crochet a matching hexagon. The only problem being that I can't call it a 'squircle' since it's not a circle in a square. It's a circle in a hexagon. Maybe 'hexircle'. Anybody got any name ideas for me?
Thanks for dropping by - I wish you all a great day. :)
I think "hexircle" is a good name ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, it looks great again! Nice for bags and blankets!
Mill ends are such great surprises - like Christmas! I prefer McDonald's coffee over Starbucks, too. Beautiful hexagon!
ReplyDeleteI like hexircle. Clever. I wish we had an AC Moore here.
ReplyDeleteI hope all went well with your Mom's tests Debi. It is nice that you are so close and be such a support to her. Pretty motif. I'm pretty wordy, I'd probably call it something like Circle with Six Sides or, it kind of looks like an Owl Eye Hexagon. :-) Starbuck is very strong coffee, sounds like you got the bottom of the brew with the grounds. My favorite coffee is Panera's Hazelnut. Take care and have a wonderful day. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the new hexi! Great yarn. Love all the colors. I dont waste my money on Starbucks...Notice the name Star...bucks they get all your bucks for their coffee.
ReplyDeleteI love the new Hexie.I also agree with you about Starbucks coffee, it is too strong. I only drink their cream based Frapps:)
ReplyDeletecirhexal was my thought...love the yarn
ReplyDeleteHope things are OK with your mom, Debi. Love the yarns you picked up. :)
ReplyDeleteHope Mama is OK. Lucky you to have a craft store near the doctor's office. I always forget to take a book or crochet when I have to visit the doctor. Love the new block.
ReplyDeleteHope the tests went well. I love how you just whip things up so easy, that is not a strong point for me. I do like the hexagon, very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI like cirhex myself. :o) Hope your mom's test went well. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for all your nice comments. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your mom's tests were ok. I love the yarn you got especially the bag on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Hexical" pretty colours in your yarn, great to have a yarn shop so handy to medical centre..Hope your mum is ok :))
ReplyDeleteHere's one no one has said -- chexagon. :) 3-1/2 hours for a stress test is pretty comprehensive. Hope it went well. So nice that you were able to pop over for some yarn. You are always creating wonderful crocheted items. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhaha, I love the name hexircle! :) It's a keeper.
ReplyDeletexo,
wink
Debi, I have a suggestion but not what you are suspecting! It's not like I really need any yarn but maybe next time you go thru the mill ends, you could find me some! I get so jealous when I see people finding the cool stuff, altho I am happy for you as well! It is just so like Christmas when you make a find right??Happy hookin'
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. :)
