Something new

There has been so much "old" stitching (ie catching up on WIPs and UFOs) going on here that it feels rather lovely to have sussed out a whole new project in the past week or so.

Colours are much nicer in real life.

With my crocheted chevron throw finished and no embroidery hiding in my sofa-side basket I am devoid of hand-stitching projects.  Well, I was, until I rooted out some yarn and started playing with colours.

I'm using the Attic 24 pattern for hexagons which works up pretty quickly for those centre circles and then just needs a little bit of forethought on colour combinations if you are going to use the join as you go method she refers to.  So far so good -

Of course, there are a ton of yarn ends to deal with (hiding behind there for purposes of a quick pic) but it will be worth it if it stays as pretty as this!

Not sure how big I'm going with this one.  No doubt it'll be a much longer term project, though I am hoping it might not be years!!
