One of my all time favorite board games. I remember sitting around with my grandmother when I was a young lad playing for hours on end. Good times. =)

Pattern: Ruby Hexagon blanket
Yarn: 29 different sock weight yarn
Hook: 2.5 mm
Time to complete: 1 month
Gripes: could be larger but I got sick of working the hexagons.
A little flower in the works for the Urban Home Swap project. First time doing hand sewn paper pieced hexagons...boy are they addictive!
Paper: Hexagon 14.5 cm Kraft wrapping paper
Grid: 56 triangles
Model: Eric Gjerde
Book: Origami Tessellations
Folded as far as the grid allowed - some hexes are missing for a full third round.
Backlit.
The hexagon blanket continues to grow. I still need to add to the width but I've established the top and the right side edges. As you can see, the quality of the pictures has greatly improved. I've got my talented daughter, the photog, to take care of the glamour shots for me.
...and still growing! Hand pieced hexagons - not sure what the final size or product will be; I'm stitching it until I'm sick of them. The pics help me see the colors more objectively - I've been "stretching out" the green, pink, purple and orange sections. It's about 3'3" x 4' now.

Hexagonal box... Purple top folded from an 8.5 inch wide hexagon gridded in 16ths... Yellow bottom folded from an 8.5 inch square divided in 7ths... It's amazing how it works out that 1/8 * 2 / root(3) is slightly larger than 1/7, thus making the top fit the bottom snugly...
The overlap section between the top and bottom is actually an anti-prism, which means the lid actually holds quite well, and does not fall off even if turned upside-down and shaken with objects inside...
The top is a result of some of the playing around I did on the yellow sheet with the offset double-pleats... It didn't look too good tessellated, but I realized the sides could be wrapped down and turned into a box-top...
Pattern - Hexagon Wheels from "Heirloom Afghans to Knit & Crochet" by Janet Leinhauser & Rita Weiss
Yarn - Knitpicks Wool Of The Andes (Pumpkin, Hollyberry, Evergreen, Coal, Cloud)
Started - February 2007
Finished - 22 Aug 2007
Svartifoss waterfall, Iceland
Columns like these form in a lava flow that cools very slowly, which allows it to form these hexagonal shapes.
Finished my crocheted scrappy hexagon blanket and absolutely adore it.
Ended up with using the teal Cascade 220 for 2 rounds of half double crochet around the edge.
I just bought 10 colors of cotton thread and I don't know what kind of project I'll do. I started trying an hexagon, then I'll see what I can do. :d
Working with a little theme of embroidering the things in the names of Tiny Owl Knits patterns. This honeycomb uses my own charts inspired by TOK that are (soon to be) free to download.
hexagons all laid out - now just need to sew them all together - I'm going to add AGF Pure Elements Cozumel Blue on both sides of each row and maybe as sashing on the top and bottom as well - hopefully that fabric will arrive this week !
