Hexagon Madness?

My lovely almost 16 year old son got on his bike and got me these colors.
The store he bought it in is 21km away from where we live!

I saw some Hexagons on Attic24 and I decided to make a throw and a few pillows for my wintergarden.
So... the same lovely almost 16 year old son, got on his bike again and got me.....

Isn't he sweet? 84 km on a bike, just to make his mother happy?

I started with the hexagons.


Well, my husband saw the hexagons and is now booking me a long holiday on the Funny Farm I guess.
But anyway... I like it!

I'm back again.

Hello all,

Sorry for not keeping my blog up to date.
I've been sooo tired lately.
Well, I´m kinda sick actualy.
Had severe anemia,and they think I have polyneuropathy in my right foot.
Had blood transfushion in February and I can´t walk since January.
Now my blood is somewhat ok, exept my liver is not happy yet.
they haven`t figured out what is going on,
but it is making me tired and unconcentrated.
I reduced my consuming painkillers down to 2 500mg paracetamol a day.
Only when I have to go somewhere, I take more.
Most of the day I spend sitting on a bed in our livingroom.
This all sounds a lot like complaining, I know.
But there is a nice side about it........
I can crochet and knit all day long if I want to!!!
The ´´Daisy Square Purse´´ is allmost finished,
the lining will have to wait untill I can use my sewingmachine again.




Pictures of the other things I´m making/made will follow soon......

Finally finiched the doily!
It turned out ok, but it has to be washed and ironed yet.





Now I've started to make another purse




Maybe I'll put the pattern for the squares online,
but I'll have to write them first.
That will be a challange!

Shoot!! barely started this blog... my internet-connection failed!!!
But i'm back!
In the meanwhile I tried to finish that doily.
Pattern available here:Mantilla Doily
But I had to do Row 21 4 times
because of the mistakes I made.
Was so fed up with myself
that I've made a fried egg because my brain felt like that.




Doily after Row 10



Doily halfway Row 21
Now I've reached row 27 ingoring mistakes I made.
Just hoping to finish it soon.
I started it because I wanted to improve my crochet-skills,
but as it turnes out I realise that I never will be good at crochet at all

Just another day

Today I made a hairband to match the red flowerbag/backpack for my daughter,
I hope she likes it!



Now I want to make her a cardigan with one button on the front, but I don't have a pattern yet.





I started to crochet my first doily ever!
A pattern from Coats & Clark,
next post I'll include a picture and a link to the free PDF download.

Almost done

Now you can see what it is, right?
I just have to sew the lining in.

Still working on the flower thing

Not finished yet.
Can you guess what it's going to be now?
