Some things I want to do…

• Make hard tack candy – I love clove candy canes and I can’t find them anywhere out here. I used to make hard tak candy all the time, and this year I am really jonesing for some cinnamon and clove. (Separate, not mixed together).
• Make a tiny japanese santa Found via Mochimochiland. Hmmm… the link seems to have disappeared now, but I downloaded a free cute santa pattern (yes, I said cute santa) from the website of designer Gera, but it is gone now…. Sorry I can’t share!
• Work on a vintage crewel pattern How I acquired these is a story for another day. Let’s just say I have several vintage crewel patterns new in the package that I have been dying to try.





• Spin some fiber It is taking over my apartment and must at least be tamed into yarn.





• Major gocco project – top secret. Involves so much work it doesn’t really sound fun right now.
• Take a trip to the East Bay Depot This would likely be counterproductive as I would probably end up with more material or partially completed craft projects, but I haven’t been in so long and I wonder what they have.

Not that I promise to stick to your suggestion… but I might! I can’t decide where to start. What do you think?

I haven’t ripped it out since I didn’t know quite what I would do instead.

Now I have an idea… Inspired by the multitudes of fantastic hexagon blankets on Ravelry () and in the Hexagon love flickr pool, I want to make one too.

I’ve got the book, so I gave it a try…

I think I am going to rip out the ripples and proceed with the hexagons. I am not going to aim as high as a queen sized blanket – more of a throw. And if I change my mind, I can easily add more hexes to the end and/or sides.

But, what do you think?
