Lovely Lovely Hexipuffs

My little hexipuffs!

Gawd - just can't stop myself now - making hexi puff after hexi puff. They are truly an amazing way to waste time - use up waste yarn and create something absolutely stunning plus comfy at the same time. Have lots of thoughts and exciting development on these little gems, how about making something sumptuous out of Debbie Bliss Silk DK for example - of course I have arrived late to the Beekeepers Quilt http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-beekeepers-quilt from Tiny Owl Knits - but they are so compulsive - I have already made this many in a couple of days: I was showing these off in the shop on Saturday and was asked to put a hexipuff workshop afternoon on sometime soon Just so that we can all get into making our community quilts for winter. If you want to include Debbie Bliss baby Cashmerino or Millamia into your sock remnants you will need to cast on 18 stitches not 20 to start with as at a sportsweight they are both slightly thicker.

Good thinking says I! Watch the courses section for further updates.

 I am also going to be working on hexipuff development. What is ingenious about them is the way that they use magic loop on dpns - and this means that you are always on their fronts knitting in the round but on the flat then, of course, they are made for fair isle. You can also make beautiful looking scarves from Noro or something equally lux and, as it is on both sides, no reversing or stupid stitches necessary - so multicoloured yarns can be seen at their best.
