Busy Hex Weekend!

  In between my normal cooking, cleaning doing laundry on the weekend, I actually made more hex pieces for my color wheel hex project!  I worked last night while watching TV.  Easier than trying to  keep track of knitting while watching football...I lose track of my stitches when the announcer is calling 'only 3 more yards' or '52 yard field goal'.  Can't tell you how often I get lost listening and trying to count...especially lace patterns.  HA

I've been working on 'reds' so  I separated by 'light', medium and darks.  I need quite a few for the start of this piece but I'll also need some (red) for outer border along with all the other colors.

I think I have an idea for the border but who knows until the project is further along!  You never know if you're designing your own quilt...Do you always know????  Wish I did! 

Anyway, I started to play with the color pattern for the red pieces...and after I had the reds 'kinda' in place I started taking apart some of the other hex pieces I've had sewn together awhile back.  I need 8 rows of hex's starting with the first row of '1' up to '8' hex's in the bottom (or top! depending on the placement). 

 I came up with a few more triangle hex patterns. 

 I'm going to start sewing the hex rows together because I am lacking some yellow's, pale greens, yada, yada. This way I can see what colors I'm missing or decide what I want to keep or remove.  I may need a stop at the local quilt shop (yes, Susan, I may be going without you!! HA).  I figure I can pick up some fat quarters, which should give me quite a few hex's.  

I'm also still knitting away...I have 72 more rows decreasing every 12 rows; then knit 12 more rows and binding off the sleeve!  Woohoo!  I'll be finished by February...I hope!  Still knitting after dinner/dishes until 6:30...then I get to work on hex pieces.  HA  So good to have a plan, right!
