Now this is right from a crocheter’s alphabet book!
Hope you all had a nice weekend. I was crocheting a couple of motifs from the book ‘Connect the shapes Crochet motifs’ by Edie Eckman . I liked this hexagon so I made some more . I have not weaved in the threads , just tucked them underneath to take the pics : )
I am yet to create something out of it. Hope will be doing that soon. I made this with Laura knitting yarn and hook size 4 m.m. This is first time I am working with it and I had bought only these 4 colors (Orange, magenta, blue and green) for trial . Since I am used to working more with size 20 threads, I found it very thick. Not sure, what ply it is of but it is very loose and there is no luster. But the colors are good and the yarn is soft compared to Anchor knitting cotton.
I liked those colorful motifs, although I missed having a cream or white color but still I guess I managed to create a good combination. Didn’t I? I am not that color confident and keep on asking Anshita, “Does this look better?” : )
Have a blog-full week ahead!

Hi, Preeti! I loved how you made H latter from hexagons, awesome idea! I used to crochet hexagons before, but grannies are my love!
ReplyDeleteYour hexagons look great in these colors, I like this yarn, perhaps would have liked to work with it.
Have a nice week ahead!

That's a neat idea to use motifs to make actual alphabet letters. Since you like this crochet alphabet book, you should join the A - Z Challenge that's coming up in April. I had so much fun participating in it last year, and I'm sure you will too. You can find the badge on my blog to sign up. There are so many participants. You're sure to get many wonderful page views here on your blog:)
ReplyDeleteNice idea!

Pretty hexagons. You are right Laura has no luster. I use 3.5 mm hook and get good results.
ReplyDeleteCute hexagons! I have been known to tuck the ends under to take photos too :) Elisabeth xx
ReplyDeleteΦανταστικά χρώματα!!!Και μπορείς να κάνεις τόσα πολλά ενώνοντας τα εξάγωνα.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the color combos. I made one hexagon last year but that was the end of my hexagon making. :) I tried working with thread but just so fiddly so I much prefer using a thicker yarn. A 3.5 is about the smallest hook I like. I remember when I went to teach the girls at the shelter to make Christmas ornaments -- they were so used to working with smaller hooks that they thought the 3.5 was way too big. Have a good rest of the week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and with such vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, Preeti! I am making a hexagon blanket now too :)
