Yarn along - hexi blanket update

I'm joining in with Ginny for this week’s yarn along; as usual I can't wait to see what everyone else is up to. I don't have a lot new to share with you this week as I'm still working on my hexagon blanket but it's progressing well and I do feel very pleased with it. I've just changed from trebles to doubles and I'm still deciding on whether to add a decorative edge or not - what do you think?
I think the colours work really well together and the blanket is keeping it's shape perfectly. It already keeps my knees cosy when I am busy hooking round and round.

 I'm about halfway through “The Seamstress” and Kate was right the book is a bit slow at first but is well worth persevering with. I have also started to read "The Happy Project" but more about that tomorrow.

 Don't forget to pop over to see Ginny here 

 talk soon x

    I love the colours, and I am very impressed by the perfect shape - my crochet meanders along ......

    What great colors! I love the hexagon blanket and I'm sure it's very meditative to crochet.

    A beautiful and stunning blanket with gorgeous colours. I think I would leave it as it is, an edging may take away from the main blanket.

    Nice blanket Sue. A border finishes off nicely I reckon.

    Love the blanket and the colours work really well together. Why not add a border on one section and see how it looks you can always take it back out. Thanks for the recommendation on the book. :)

    Your blanket looks great and the colours work really well together. Why not add a border to one section and see how it looks, you can always take it back out if you don't like it. Thanks for the book recommendation. :)

    I love your blanket. You are right the colors work very well together. I think a border would g well, but it depends. Off whom you are making it for. You can make it more masculine or more feminine dependenimg on who u are going to give it to... :)

    Sue, your blanket is just beautiful! I love the colors you used and it's truly lovely just as it is, but a decorative edge would be nice as well. :) Paulette
