Making progress on the Wonky Starfish. I’m recovering from foot surgery so can’t spread it out, but I’ve been having fun with Scheepjes Whirls, playing with color. I think Stephen would approve!

Looking great. The colour combinations also make it look very detailed and intricate.
Wishing you a speedy recovery after your surgery!

Thank you.
I started this about 10 days back from a frogged sweater little mister had grown out of. Now a bigger, even stripier version.
I made a small error in calculating the additional yarn needed and only bought 1 new ball to add to the frogged yarn and some I had left over from his previous sweater. I was almost right… but also totally wrong! I calculated for the weight and meters needed for the sweater and sleeves but totally forgot I was putting the rib hem and cuffs on afterwards. I have only enough for the neck and need to buy one more ball for the ribbing. It’s frustrating just because I like to buy yarn in a big enough quantity to get free shipping rather than a single ball and I have no idea what other yarn to buy.

I need, desperately, to knit many dishcloths as my kitchen cotton stash is burgeoning!

Well, wow! That is beyond gorgeous.
Stunning! Looks like it took a huge amount of work and worth every moment of it.
I ordered the pattern! Gonna grab some nice chunky yarn… I like this soft grey colour! Great knitting for when I’m on vacation! Hopefully I can get the yarn in time! 
. Thanks for sharing!

Well done! What pattern did you use?
I purchased it on Etsy from TheHatandI.
I’m sure if you look at their site on Etsy you’ll see it there and some other cute crochet patterns.
Thanks!

I learned when joining not to do each hexagon individually as when I was finishing some were coming apart. Someone I know who crochets suggested joining across and then up and down. This worked much better and held up after being washed.
Thank for your help earlier in my posts.
