Notes

Bueno, es un proyecto que me seduce y que quiero hacer a mi manera. Me baso en esos Hexágonos pero busco la manera de personalizarlos. Por el momento tengo restos de lana mía y también intercambiada.
De momento me gustaría recolectar más colores, hago pocos calcetines al año.

17 de agosto 2011. Aproximadamente tendrá entre 300 y 320 hexágonos. Necesitaré hacer al menos hacer entre tres y cuatro piezas por semana si quiero acabarla antes de dos años.
Gracias a las personas que me han ofrecido sus restitos y sus ideas. Las pondré en práctica y las iré comentando comforme las haga.
Será como una pradera de flores. De esas flores el centro irá con un motivo que será elegido por mí o por la persona que ha contribuído a su realización. Los colores serán numerosos. Un auténtico popurri de color. El verde en sus múltiples variaciones rodeará esas flores. Lana de calcetines y otras similares. Estoy realmente emocionada con ello.
19 de agosto. He recolectado casi todos los hilos que me pueden servir. Me faltan colores claros, pero todos son bienvenidos. Me queda mirar en lace poniéndolas dobles.
20 de agosto: ¡El primero! como un lindo bebé de tres gramos. Lo he empezado con un método similar pero ligeramente diferente. Lo he cerrado punto por punto ya que así queda igual que el comienzo y queda más uniforme el hexágono.
30 de agosto 2011: Ya tengo el 1%!
12 de septiembre: Ya tengo el 5% y empieza el colegio.
18 de septiembre: Ya tengo el 10%
8 de octubre: 15%
10 de diciembre 30%
19 de diciembre 163 hexipuffs
27 de diciembre 40% 202 hexipuffs!!
Los próximos días a bordar motivos en nuevos hexipuffs.
25 de enero, 253 hexipuffs. He decidido ampliarla a más de 600 para que mida 120 por 150 cm.
5 de junio 390 hexipufs, más de la mitad
5 de julio 425 hexipufs
20 de agostode 2012: 505 hexipuffs. Llevo más del 75% hecho. Ahora comenzaré a hacer el mosaico para saber que colores necessito añadir.
Abril de 2013: He seguiido avanzando en silencio pero más lento. Me ha frenado la busqueda de colores para mi cielo mediterraneo. Los veía oscuros y he llegado a crear proyectos que incluyeran esos colores para tener unos restos para mi cielo.
Por otro lado es muy lento, difícil y agotador colocar los hexipuffs en un lugar idoneo. Cansa mucho la espalda y estoy buscando la manera de colocar un espacio de dimensiones fijas para moverlos a mi antojo y en pequeñas dosis de tiempo que no cansen mi espalda. Necesito la complicidad de los hombres de casa.
No he contado cuantos llevo porque todavía no tengo suficiente cielo. Estoy rehaciendo el dibujo planeado para adaptarme a los colores que han ido surgiendo.
diciembre 2013: he conseguido acabar casi todos los necesarios para dar color. Solo quedan unos pocos de nubes blancas. He conseguido montarlos y ya he comenzado a unirlos. Voy dando retoques de colocación mientras los uno. Coso y acabo los que quedan. Ojala esté acabado antes del verano.
19 de octubre de 2014, último hexágono.
Y prácticamente un año hasta haberlo cosido entero. Pereza de unir los hexágonos junto a dolor de espalda y de manos. Pero ya está en el 18 de octubre de 2015

Forman parte de esta aventura todas estas reinas-abejas por su colaboración en intercambio o regalo de lanas:

Well, it’s a project very attractive for me and I want to do it my way. It bases in these hexagons but I’m looking for ways to customize them. At the moment I have my yarn remnants and exchanged. I thought that going with drawings like a bee or other drawings were chosen by people who have owned the wool. So I would remember them. I might also add the letters of his name or at least initials.
At the moment I would like to collect more colors, I have two couples of socks a year.
Is anyone interested in exchanging scraps wool socks by other skeins? I have some reserved waiting to go another home.
August 17, 2011. Approximately It will have between 300 and 320 hexagons. I need to make at least three or four pieces a week if I want to finish it before two years.
Thanks to those who have offered me their leftover yarns and their ideas. I will do them and will comment when I have finished them.
It will be like a meadow of flowers. The center of these flowers will go with a motif elected by me or the person who has contributed to its realization. The colors will be numerous. A veritable potpourri of color. The green on the many variations surround the flowers. Wool socks and the like. I’m really excited about it.
August 19. I have collected almost all the threads that I can serve. I’m missing colors, but all are welcome. I have to look into lace, putting double.
August 20: First! a cute baby of three grams. I cast on similar but slightly different. I’ve bind off with kitchener stitch .It becomes more uniform hexagon.
December 30%, 150 hexipuffs. Starting to create the magic universe with all little galaxies. Each galaxy is called with friend’s names that have contributed with yarns for new hexipuffs.
December 27th, 40%, 202 hexipuffs. Now I attach with the charts: dogs, foxies, animals and flowers and other pretty thing you can find in a garden.
March 17th, 45% 315 hexipuffs.
august 35th, more 75%: 505 hexipuffs. Now is the moment to join performing the work. So, I’ll knit the next hexipuffs in order to necessary colours or textures.

Well: April 2013. I was continuing doing more and more hexipuffs, slowly. I stopped when I realized that I hadn’t enough palette to desing the sky. The three last months I was looking for. I think I have found! So, hurry up with!
The other question, really hard, is put the hexipuffs in a lovely place into the composition. I have a design but I’m doing another one adapting that to colours I have.
My back isn’t a young back, so I need a good space to work easily.
