Hexipuff Madness - Week 36

This week, my Hexipuffs took a little trip to the Stitch and Pitch game at Citi Field. 

Spending time with my friends at the game was so much fun. 

The Mets didn't score at all, but I was able to knit 6 hexipuffs in total and get these souvenirs. 

I even posed with the iconic Jackie Robinson exhibit. 

And to add even more excitement to the day, I gave myself a New York Mets Manicure. 

Altogether, I knit 11 hexipuffs this week. 

This brings my total for the KAL to 168.  

I am 43.75% to my yearly goal, and 25.91% complete with the whole blanket. 

I still have 216 hexipuffs to complete in 105 days. Yikes!!!! 

Hexipuff Madness - Week 35

This week, I completed 14 hexipuffs.

 This brings my total to 157 for the year.  

I'm 40.88% to my goal for the KAL. I'm 24.86% complete with the whole blanket.

 

Hexipuff Madness - Week 34

This week, I only managed to knit 6 hexipuffs.

This brings my total for the year to 143. I'm 37.24% to my goal. I have so much more to go.

Hexipuff Madness - Week 33

This post is from about 4 weeks ago. Over the summer, there has been a lot of off and on weeks, when it came to my hexipuff knitting.

I have managed to knit 33 hexipuffs.

This brings my 2014 Hexipuff KAL total to 137.

So much more to go.

Hexipuff Madness - Week 23

I am back on track now. My knitting mojo is back, and The Hexipuffery is cranking out cute little squishys at a great rate.

This week, I finished 14 hexipuffs. The majority of them were knit during my WWKIP Day of fun with my knitting buddies.

I decided to start arranging my hexipuffs according to the pattern I created, because I wanted the pattern to come to life.

Now, I realize that I need more green.

I have a total of 95 hexipuffs completed this year, and 198 hexipuffs overall. I have completed 18.9% of the hexipuffs needed for this project.

World Wide Knit in Public Day - WWKIP Day!!!

Saturday was Worldwide Knit in Public Day. Correction......the beginning of World Wide Knit in Public WEEK. It has grown over the past few years, and we need more than a day to show off our tricks with yarn and sticks.

My knitting has been sporadic since I came back from vacation in MARCH. Yes, I am hanging my head in shame about it. So, I have decided to pick up my hexipuff project and try to remember where I left off.

If I remember correctly, I promised to knit hexipuffs from a whole skein of lavender yarn, in hopes of receiving Ravellenics badge. Well, as cool as it was to be able to knit on the plane during vacation, and while I sat by the pool......i wasn't in the mood for marathon knitting. Let's be real. I had rum punch in my system, soca music in my head, and just wanted to dance. So there went that idea.

Anyways, I decided to count up the hexipuffs that were created on various trips to work. I made 16 WOOHOOO!!!

Which brings my total for this year up to 81.

I decided to lay them out on the bed that they will eventually be covering. They look so tiny and cute.

That means only 1 thing. MUST KNIT FASTER!!!!

Wanting to add to this, I took my little hexipuff packet to Bryant Park and joined my Knatural Purls group. Knitty City sponsored the event, and it was fabulous.

I met lots of cool people and had lots of laughs. The weather was perfect for outdoor knitting. We even had some fun modeling our knitting and hair themed T-shirts. Oh, its the little things that make me happy.

My total hexipuff count overall for this project is 184, which makes this blanket project 17.6% complete.

Hexipuff Madness 2014 - Week 6

This week, I completed 16 hexipuffs. I also found one green hexipuff that was hiding from me. Bonus! So, for the year of 2014, I have 65 hexipuffs completed.

I am 16.06% complete, with a Grand total of 168.

Ravellenics Day 9 Progress

As of this morning, I have 21 hexipuffs complete. I am a little over the halfway mark. I am going to meet with some lovely knitting friends today, so I am hoping to complete at least 5 more today. I really need about 9 to get back on track with my plan. We shall see what happens.

As for the cowl, I am in the midst of casting on again. This time, with a different pattern. I am making Scrumptious. More pics when I really have something to show.

Hexipuff Madness 2014 Week 5

This week, I completed 14 hexipuffs, which brings my total for the year to 48.

I have completed a total of 151 hexipuffs altogether, which means I'm 14.44% to my goal. Thanks to this Ravellenics challenge.

Revellenics Day 2 Progress

As of Saturday night, I completed 6 hexipuffs. I am spot on with my goal. 32 more to go!

Ravellenics Day 1 Progress

My goal is 3 a day. However, I did 1 and a half. I fell asleep making the last one. I had a high energy dance class last night, so that's what made me so tired. I have more time this weekend to catch up.

Hexipuff Madness 2014 - Week 4

This week, I completed 9 hexipuffs. Altogether, I have made 34 this year. This brings my grand total to 137. That's 13.1% of my goal.

I calculated that if I knit 3 a day, I would be complete by December 5th. Then maybe I could stitch it together during the holidays. I know, I said the same thing during the summer. But, this time it seems more realistic.

I will continue to take a picture of just the new ones, until my 2014 goal of 384 has been reached. Then I will add last year's hexipuffs.

So, in an effort to make more hexipuffs, I have entered the Modular Relay event in the Ravellenics games on Ravelry. I have decided to complete a whole skein's worth of hexipuffs, which are roughly about 40. In 17 days! Eeeeeek!

I've decided to use the Blue Violet colorway of Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Fingering weight yarn. This color forms the center "flower" in my pattern design. I figured it was about time I let the design dictate what color comes next.

Hexipuff Madness 2014 - Week 3

Last week, I completed 13 Hexipuffs. My apologies for the late post. I have been really busy this week. I started going to the gym more often, and putting in more hours in the office.

So, altogether I have completed 25 Hexipuffs for the year for the KAL.

This brings my total to 128, which is 12.24% of the total blanket.

Hexipuff Madness Monday - 2014 Week 2

I am back on my hexipuff kick. I recently joined the Hexipuff KAL on Instagram. The goal is to finish 384 hexipuffs by the end of the year.

I finished 5 last week, and 7 this week. This brings my total to 12 for the year, and 115 overall. I'm 10.99% to my goal.

Here is a cute little VIDEO I made of this week's hexipuffs.
