All last night I kept dreaming* of “hexipuffs,” the little hexagon shaped units of the beekeeper’s quilt. How I’d knit them. How I’d stuff them. How I’d arrange the colors. How I’d connect them together. Apparently, my subconscious really, really wants to knit some hexipuffs.
My conscious, however, really, really rejects the idea of knitting a gazillion little units, stuffing them individually, and sewing them into a quilt. Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen.
But what about a trivet, or a hot pad? Could be fun. Small enough to be sane, big enough to get the hexipuff craze out of my head… hopefully.
Apparently I’m not alone in my aversion to hundreds of hexipuffs. Ravelers have found lots of uses for small numbers of hexipuffs: seat cushions, key fobs, Christmas ornaments, pillow covers, and more. Me, I think I’ll stick with the hot pad.
*I’m not the only person that dreams of knitting, am I?
