my creative space | hexagon blanket

There is something magically about the summer holidays. Morning sunshine, lazy afternoons, the feeling that you have all the time in the world. Enter the hexagon blanket. I have been loving the look of crochet hexagons for quite some time, yet they always appeared in the two hard bag. Until, the summer holidays came along and I stumbled upon the easiest tutorial I had seen for them yet. One thing led to another, and before I knew it I hard started to make my own hexagon blanket!

I've been using a similar kind of join as you go technique that I used here. It's not perfect. I'm not really convienced that I like how they join together. But at the moment, I don't want to learn a new joining stitch, as I would never finish the blanket if I didn't join them as I went along.

I am embracing the perfectly imperfect hexagon blanket. I am loving the look the solid colours give when joined together. I love that I have a new go to whenever project.

Linking up with my creative space for the first time this year.

creative space: arcade fire blanket

As soon as I saw this post, I knew I had found my next project. It has affectionately been labelled the arcade fire blanket because I can't say the word arcade without breaking out into this in my head.

With work going back this month and my crafty time becoming precious, this blanket has been the perfect unwind at the end of the night project. There is nothing more therapeutic then crocheting row after row after row and watching it grow.

Hopefully, it will become an awesome blanket to snuggle under before winter sets in.
