Still working on my lacy cardigan and a pair of socks. It is growing slowly. Time to pick up the pace on it so I can have it done in time for Rhinebeck. I still have to look for buttons for it. No picture as there really isn't much new to see.

ReplyDeleteLovely hexipuffs
STUNNING mini skeins
Such a pretty sock :) And those mini's are beautiful! Love the variety!
ReplyDeleteThanks I got them in a round robin swap.
DeleteLove the sock and the hexipuffs, great work this week.
ReplyDeleteYay for sock #1! Hope sock #2 flies off the needles!
ReplyDeleteAnd if ever you're interested in swapping minis, let me know. I'm working on a sock yarn blanket myself and have a bunch of 10g babies ripe for swapping!
Thanks, me too!
DeleteA mini swap in the future may work...right now I just swapped all my extras :)
Love those mini skeins....how many puffs do you get out of one skein? I often envy people with the beekeeper blanket, oh, but I'm not sure I'd be committed enough to actually see one through!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I get 2-3 hexipuffs out of a 25yard mini so far. As far as seeing it through: I do believe I'll still be working on this in ten years!
DeleteThose mini skeins will work into lovely hexipuffs. Can't wait to see them either. Great socks too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to see how they work up.
DeleteGood job on the sock, I'm almost done my first adult sock in years! Hexi's are looking great, can't wait to see them in a blanket! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Congrats on your sock! It's probably going to be a long wait for the hexis to turn into a blanket!
DeleteYeah, congrats on the sock..mine is still in time out..some gorgeous mini's..can't wait to see the finished projects..esp. the green and white..
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope your sock is able to get out of time out soon :)
DeleteI LOVE the sock (and the mini skeins!) -- you've reminded me, I've got hexipuffs sitting around, waiting for more puffs to be made, and eventually maybe get turned into a blanket. . . It's been so long! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I started this a while ago and "forgot" about it. I'm trying to at least get a few a month so *someday* I'll have a blanket!
DeleteVery cute mini skeins, they'll make some lovely hexipuffs!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully they'll get worked up soon.
DeleteLove the sock - good luck with #2! I also love the mini-skeins and can't wait to see what they look like knitted up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. At the heel of sock #2 now, so it shouldn't be long.
DeleteLove the mini skeins - those will make some super fun socks!
ReplyDeleteTrying to make a BeeKeepers Quilt with the minis. I may finish it in 5 years or so, lol.
Deletegreat job on the sock - looking forward to seeing your cardigan completed. Many folks are making those puff hexi's - seems like a lot of work but it must be a nice comfy blanket.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really need to get working o the cardi, I haven't touched it this week at all. The hexis are pretty simple. It's just the number needed and then the part of attaching them together. I'm sewing mine together. I've started putting together small groups every so often. Hopefully that way it won't be too bad to finish.
DeleteI would decorate with those mini skeins!
