Tutorial

I am not sure how big I want to make this. Since i can really only do about 2 a day, its going to take me over a year for sure! I am not stuffing mine, hence why I am calling it hexiflats :)

Sept 19, 2011 - Started, did 2, and planned some yarn for more.

Sept 20, 2011 - up to 4 now. I think i may try and design some patterns for inside the hexiflats to make some of the solid colored ones that I am making more interesting.

November 11, 2011 - I am working on a bunch of mini skeins including dyeing some of my own this weekend. I have skeined well over 100 skeins, some to share and some for myself. I am also up to 16 flats!!

Nov 13, 2011 - I am now up to 27 flats, making 11 in the last 2 days, 5 of which are my own hand dyed.

Nov 23, 2011 - 65 flats and counting, I am steadily working on them as much as I can. Things will slow down once dec 1 comes along as I will be working on a few other things as well.

Dec 7, 2011 - Finished #100 tonight! Yippee!! Now I think I will start attaching and see how it goes. I want it to be fairly random, I may have to borrow a little person to help me be random…lol…with my attaching otherwise I may become a tad obsessed with color arrangement!

Dec 8, 2011 - Started attaching now that I have reached 100, and oh my is it tons of fun. I attached a couple to start just by tying them with the ends out, and I decided that I didn’t like it, not only that but i think my cat would have a field day with all of those ends sticking out. So I opted for what i call loop and running stitch attaching. I will add a tutorial to my youtube channel search for Sheepwokking, so that if you want to be attaching that way you can!! I have attached 60 so far, rather quickly i might add, and have knitted 2 more tonight, so my count is 102!

Dec 25, 2011
Mini Skein Count is 192
Hexipuff Knitted count right now is 108
Hexipuff Sewn together count is 87
I have lots to keep me going for a while that is for sure. I have had to take a little break while my hand heals up but I will be back at it soon. I miss my puffing! I think I will be knitting some more before I do more attaching this way i can truly keep the randomness of the attaching going as I have doubles right now of everything that need attaching.

Its been a while since I updated this page. I took a little hexi vacation while I worked on other things but now I am back at it and here are my counts…
Mini Skein Count left to knit is 230
Hexipuff Knitted count right now is 202
Hexipuff Sewn together count is 200

I am done buying mini skeins that is for sure. at least until I knit up all of this!! I have had a ton donated to me from friends etc as well. I think I have enough to to reach beyond my first goal of 500

Nov 6, 2012
Well its over a year since i started this wondrous project. I have missed a few months of puff knitting due to christmas knitting and a few sales that I have coming up with my jewelry business.
