hexagon!

In between bouts of sweater knitting, I’ve also been working away at my hexagon pillowcase.

I sewed all the hexagons together a couple of weekends ago, and now I’m chipping away at the process of sewing them (is this applique? Is that something different?) to the fabric I want to use as the background of my pillow top.

It is going glacially, but I am okay with that. There’s something kind of relaxing about picking up my hoop and doing needlework, and it’s sort of nice doing it in small bursts of activity instead of feeling like it needs to get finished all at once.

See that little bat hexagon in the corner? That fabric is my absolute favourite, I’m sort of wishing I’d bought more. Deep in my heart, there is a cranky emokid who likes safety pins and studded belts, and that fabric is making her so very happy. I think I might need to go on a shopping trip, once Halloween-themed fabrics start to make their way into the sewing stores.
