Knitting involves leftovers of yarn from time to time. If you're like me you just can't throw them away. That's why I started to knit little hexagon-shaped pads. They're about 5cm in diameter and I stuff them a little bit with polyester wool because I want them to be somewhat "puffy". Once I have knit a bazillion of these, I plan to sew them together on the edges to create a quilt.
At the moment I have about 14 Hexipuffs. Not really that much, I know.. It will take me ages to finish this one! But since this is a long term project, I don't care about the time. ;-) I'll keep you updated!
Have a nice day! :-)

Once I'm done, the quilt should look like this one, except the colours. I plan to keep mine more autumn style.

I always wish I could knit so I could make one of those...I'm sure yours will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKnitting is not that difficult, really! I always thought I could never handle all those needles and stitches and everything. But then I gave it a try and it worked! Sure, you need some practice and I wouldn't recomend to start with something this small. But I'm sure you could make a nice scarf or something! :-)
