never taught me to crochet.

Well our Canadian Thanksgiving is over for another year. It is always a fun holiday and a time to reflect on our blessings. It is also time to check in with Ladybird Diaries and Chrissie Crafts again. They are the fabulous ladies who are hosting a crochet-a-long every week on Thursdays. Join in if you can.
I am working on an afghan with 4 basic colours (2 different blues, cream and gray) in a number of variations.
I did not have a lot of free time this week but I managed to make 6 hexies.
Slow and steady is better than nothing at all :-)

| Notice the bumble bee and hexie (honeycomb) pattern on the tablecloth? |
The three hexies on the right side of the photo are completely finished but the other 3 on the left still need to have the ends woven in.
If you are joining in with Ladybird and Chrissie, I will be peeking in at your progress.
Happy crafting!

You are SO amazing, Penny. You''re already showing another of your many talents. I'm still at the dish-cloth knitting stage which I learned from you! I hope you're keeping well. I'm back on Blogger now and should be a regular visitor again.Blessings and (((hugs))) Jo xxx
Well done for making progress, it's better than what I've done this week! :-) Chrissie x
A wonderful quote. I, too, taught myself. Except, I called my grandmother to explain things like treble crochet. She was a local call, my mother long distance.
Your hexies are looking beautiful! Suzy x
Wow looking fab! your hexagons are looking brilliant x
I love the colours you've used for your hexies, it'll be so restful and easy on the eye when it's finished. I may have made good progress on my scarf this week, but I have an unfinished granny square blanket that I started 4 years ago! So well done for having got those hexies made!
Glad to have found your blog via the CAL .
