i must be mad, at least it feels so...
i wanted to have a simple, mundain, long lasting crafts project that i could pick up anytime for 15-20 min. when i would feel like it. i chose to make a double bed cover (160-200cm) with this pattern super simple hexagon. i chose it especially for the good marketing line "super simple".
recently i did the math after crocheting 5 hexagons and joining them on the go. so 160 cm x 200 cm = 17-18 hexagons in a row and 29 rows = 508 hexagons.
ok, seems to be what i want: big, mundain and easy pattern. BUT i'm working on it using leftover yarn (nailing an eco-project tag at the same time) and now my biggest stress factor has become choosing the prettiest yarn from the mix!!! (plus i tend to forget the super easy pattern after i haven't been in the mood for it for some time stressing even magic loop for 20 min.!!!) at least i shouldn't be getting dementia anytime soon when i challenge my brain so - hm... should i pick a pink yarn, no no, next one is supposed to be a stronger color, that one doesn't really go with that etc... (help! maybe the beginning row should have an odd number of hexagons so i can end both ways with stronger colors since i have alternated dark with pastel :P )
äitisuomennos: virkkaaminen ja matikka + värien suunnittelu = stressi!!!
