Notes

April 7, 2016

I had 3.5mm needles but they are not pointy enough for my liking … think I might try this on circs, casting on to a DPN prior to rearranging stitches

April 8, 2016

Yay, pointy needles are good! Using magic loop (3.5mm 4” points plus 80cm cable) to do this, feel like I need a pointier DPN or figure out how to use a crochet hook to do a 3 needle bind-off (left-handed person wants to hold hook in left hand, but knits otherwise in the standard direction, makes for some rather awkward attempts to cast off). The not very pointy DPN I have is mostly working, so I’m giving up.

April 14, 2016

Nearly 14 done, although would be good to cast on something OTHER than hexipuffs, but I don’t have a moment to wind yarn til after this weekend maybe.

May 6, 2016

running tally so far: 43

May 15, 2016

Running tally - 60, maybe one more tonight as we sit and watch Eurovision to see what we already know is the result.

May 23, 2016

75 as at this morning. I started one on the train and finished it talking to someone at my desk.

August 20, 2016

I think I’m close to 150 but I haven’t actually counted since the last photo with all of them on the floor … cardigan knitting has taken over for the moment cos I’m past the complicated bits that I can’t knit standing up on the train.

September 24, 2016

177 was the count last week, plus 17 just about done this morning = 194. Yay! Training day on Tuesday meant I got a lot more knitting time … (for future reference - joining the suckers - http://lindsaysasseville.wixsite.com/sewnbylindsay/tutorials)

January 26, 2017

Been back on the hexipuff train since just before Christmas … still not sick of them, so that’s a thing, right?

April 30, 2017

At 326 and counting, I think I need more yellow/orange/brown, and some yellow-green.

April 27, 2019

Finished the ball of grep-coloured yarn earlier this week; have dug out my remnant balls of fingering weight and also the next-in-line zauberball which is orange and green. It’s probably time to do a count?

September 26, 2019

Added a few more hexipuffs to the pile while on holiday.

January 9, 2020

Feel like I’m well overdue to lay them all out for a count - I’d pencilled it in for something to do over the break, but just didn’t get to it. Maybe this weekend?

January 11, 2020

383 and one in progress. I think this will end up on one of the couches once I finally get to assembly.

January 7, 2021

Added a few more in the last couple of weeks, while I’ve been between knitting projects. Still haven’t finished the never-ending orange and green Zauberball, but am dreaming about what I might pick up for the next colour. I am somewhat swimming in leftover 4ply though, but I have colour gaps I’m still trying to fill grimacing

August 17, 2021

Back to knitting more of these, as they appear to be the only thing I’m able to cope with, complexity-wise, with all this shrug::skin-tone-2 going on

January 1, 2022

470 and one on the needles. 10 showed damage from … being nibbled on grimacing

June 3, 2022

Some yarn in somewhat the colours that have gaps, was procured, and some has already been knit through … mostly the yellow, but the schopel-wolle in Indischrosa was last weekend’s purchase while we were away for the weekend.
