In a heartbeat

I started this blanket five weeks ago. My husband had a small heart surgery and while waiting during our hospital visits I started crocheting which was very relaxing. After 146 multi- colour hexagons it came together!



Attaching the single hexagons with s solid blue super wash merino wool.
Just be patient ! This was the boring part, cleaning up the ends.
 Shaping the outline of the throw I started with 2 rounds of the same blue wool as I used for the hexagons. I wanted to give this "flower-power blanket" a real retro look and found this awesome 
sock yarn.


Yup, orange is my colour this year.


I decided to finish my edge with a bobble stitch instead of a flatter version the shell finish.

Tada!!!!!!

( I wish the lighting would have been better.)

    Wow! I've been working on a hexagon blanket but have set it aside because it was very tedious. Yours is beautiful and has inspired me to get busy again. I found you blog on Pinterest and am now a follower. Happy New Year!
