If I’m knitting at least 2 rows of the fractal cowl per day, and I have 40 rows left, then I will be done in a maximum of 20 (+5 for emergencies) days, so before school starts February the 19th. Sweet.

Meanwhile I have been knitting one hexipuff a day to make a quilt, and I am currently pretty pleased? Yay. If every mini-skein of the yarn I have in a bunch of colors makes ~2.5 hexi-puffs, then I should have 2.5x42 mini-skeins= ~105 more daily puffs from this bin of tiny yarn. So I won’t run out of yarn until April 24th or thereabouts. Sweet.

If you know of any sport-weight cotton in interesting tonal or variagated colors, do let me know?

I’m tired but my brain won’t shut up. Ugh. Gonna try to sleep anyway, night night.

Not being a knitter (mom was) i had to look up "hexipuff".
It talked about making a blanket of them. Wow!
That's got to be a very warm blanket?
Hoping to see your finished product?

I will absolutely be taking pics of the progress and hopefully remembering to link them here. And since I am currently in New England and moving to Washington state at some point in the next couple years (🤞) then I figure I’ll need a warm lap blanket for the couch. It’s going to be heavy and warm and those are always very soothing qualities in a blanket.

Acho lindíssimo quem tricota. Eu sei um pouco de crochê, bordado e pintura e quase não trabalho manualmente por falta de materiais, ânimo e até habilidades. Mas tenho acompanhado algumas das entradas que você tem publicado sobre sua colcha de hexipuff e estou ansiosa para ver como vai ficar no final.

I will take many process pictures. For right now I’m planning on doing staggered rows of cool-toned colors (green-blue-purple) and warm-toned colors (red-orange-yellow) with random hexipuffs of beige and brown and white scattered throughout to keep it from looking too orderly. I like a big, funky mess!

If you want to see what other people have done with theirs, here are some completed ones:

Todos os links são privados, eventualmente terei de fazer uma conta para visualizar.

Adorei as cores que vai usar. Parece incrível u.u

Olvidé que hay que iniciar sesión en el sitio web de Ravelry para ver la mayoría de las cosas. Lo siento.

Pero para fines de este año, es posible que puedas ver mi edredón.

Ah sim obrigada irei olhar, mas não estou escrevendo em espanhol e sim em português brasileiro, por isso você teve dificuldades em compreender *risos*

Desculpe, não quis desrespeitar! Fiz quatro anos de latim e, portanto, algumas línguas parecem muito semelhantes para mim. 😅

We você gosta do kook dessas colchas, eu já vi outras parecidas feitas em crochê. Posso te dar um link que não está no Ravelry se você quiser?

Não foi desrespeito não, já estou acostumada com essas situações, poucos são os que conhecem o idioma português. Agradeço o link, mas não faço mais crochê tem muito tempo...
