Notes

I am making this to be 6’x6’ so will require 1152 hexipuffs.

Pictured is the project at 1/3 of the way through, 384 hexipuffs aka the large size blanket from the pattern.

1) Trial layout to see what colours were still required and what it might look like (at this point I was slightly nervous about having put in all this work and a chance I might not like it).

2) The other yarn from my stash for the project yet to be knit up.

14-04-2017

14/04/2017

I changed the plan from a 6’x6’ layout to a hexagonal colour wheel layout.

This project is almost finished apart from two colour sections where I ran short on the colours of yarn and could not source more of the colours due to them being discontinued by supplier.

I have not been able to find any other non-acrylic yarns close in colour to the Wolle Rödel Siena. Should anybody have any in their stashes not already aside for particular project I would greatly appreciate if we could work out some sort of exchange or sale for the required colours.
