Description I crocheted a blanket for ^Mollinda 's baby that's on the way. I hope the baby is allowed to use it. Molly threatened to keep it for herself. I thought hexagons were a good choice given Molly's feelings about bees.

Yes! It was a lot of work but crochet is quite relaxing to do in front of the tv - I like having something to show for my time.

you're welcome! ♥ And yes that would be fab. Though. You'd need a 'pleasant smells only' checkbox... with some of what's on here some of the smells may be... interesting.

Thank you The colours were a combination between what I imagined and what I could actually buy, and I was worried for a long time that they wouldn't work, so I'm glad they did.

ONLY GIANT ONES. They will use it as the template for an enormous hive.

This looks really beautiful! And I love the colour scheme, you've used. How long did it take you to finish this? It looks like much work went into it.

Thank you it took about three weeks, with a real push at the end to get it ready for Molly's baby shower.

This is beautiful! I've recently started crotcheting, I find it suprisingly difficult. Any tips? I always get confused on the which loop I should take it from and I don't understand patterns online because I don't know what each stitch is abbreviated to xD

Thank you! I learned from youtube.com/crochet - the videos are really clear, and there are left handed ones which are great for me. One confusing factor is that UK/AUS uses different terms to the US/Rest of the world. I learned the US way cos it's less confusing.
