Seduced by the Dark Side

I tried to resist, but it was futile...  I saw them everywhere.... I wanted to have my own...

So I finally downloaded the hexipuff pattern!  I've made three, with no idea of what I will make in the end - if there is an end...

You see, what finally drew me in was the fact that these are made using LEFT OVER SOCK YARN....  ...and I've got quite a lot of that!

So I've wasted spent an entire afternoon making hexipuffs and the total so far is... THREE!!!!! Here they are...

First hexipuffs

The pattern is by Tiny Owl Knits, and this lady is definitely (shall we say) 'alternative'. Watch this video...

But I have seen these everywhere and the only pattern source seems to be from Tiny Owl Knits.  So I had to bite the bullet and BUY the pattern.  Ouch.

I don't cast on the way she does, and I don't do the crochet 3-needle bind-off that she does (I use Kitchener stitch instead) so there's really not much pattern left for my money!  Anyway, I DO like making them, and maybe they'll be part of a doll's quilt for my granddaughter.

I'll let you know.
