I would very much like to have the finished pattern, especially as I am interested in how you finish edges, etc.
Thanks so much.

Wow, this is a great pattern. I know the “grandmother’s flowergarden” as a quilt pattern, but never thought of turning it into knitting, especially from the outside in. I’ve been looking for a scrap/stash buster pattern and that might just be it. Thanks.

Oh no…why did I have to see this? Now there’s a decision looming….Lizard Ridge or Bobby’s Garden? Lizard Ridge or Bobby’s Garden?

Oh crap…I think I might have to make both of them.

Once I have a job and can afford to buy Noro again I’m totally going to start one.

You know, I could see this whole blanket knitting thing going on forever. First it’s purely decorative, then a nice little lap blanket, then it covers the twin bed in the guest room, then your queen sized bed, then it takes over your house, and then it takes over the world. I mean, when do you decide to stop knitting hexagons?

Oh, this is not good. Today was supposed to be about cleaning and laundry.

Rooms cleaned – 0
Loads of laundry done – 0
Hexagons knitted – 5

Please send help.

Sweet! I will definitely have to try that one day. Great tutorial, and even cooler photo of you knitting at the top. Love that your hands are moving.

It is very cool, and extremely pretty looking!
Really funny actually as I’m currently also working with hexagons (though made in an entirely different way)… Your way is good though, and with such great colours!
