BUT when I saw the real hexies and started joining them in my mind I soon discovered that I the best way is to make plain hexies (no need for first round in different colour) and then join them as if using ruler :)

Hex A Tile! ;P
One fun day over at the instagram we where droooling over tiles ... and I just happened to have few hexagons so I HAD to try it out!
First thing I thought that the easiest way to make this would be plain hexies (probably with first round black) joined with black and then when it looked way too much like a simple honeycomb blanket one would crochet sl st over it in rows so it would makes it come to life ...

Blanket for sale!
There comes the first time for everything ....
and soo I am finally ready to sell finished blanket! :)
so, head to the etsy and about 2weeks later you'll be able to snuggle in it ;)
It is rather big baby blanket but it would fit the baby until about 4years old (referencing my own big babies :D we also have smaller older friends so maybe for your kid it would fit even longer than that ;) )
I think it would work as an throw or a lap blanket for any size and age as well ;)

in celebration of 5k followers on instagram ❀ ✩ ✿ ✾ ✫ ❃ ✺ ✭ ❇ ✰ ❈ ✬ ❊ ❉ ☆ ✱ ✲ ★
I organised a giveaway for free patterns over instagram to say huge thank you to all of my wonderful supporters there :)
5k still seems quite impossible but fluttering :)
I wasn't planning to write about it here but i made time lapse video of how I picked the lucky ones and it was too short to post on instagram .. :D so I decided to share here instead so everyone knows it was fate that picked the lucky ladies ;)
Well if you have seen the video you still have no proof because apparently less then 2 sec video (in MB it is even smaller than any of my pictures :D) must be processed to something that is just a blurr :D I should have made a real video (next time I will be smarter!) and this time you just have to believe what I say :P
