Motif # 45

Notes:
Is it a hexagon or is it actually a circle? Nevermind, this is another motif from the hexagons-chapter. Not my favorite, but another one down on my way to the 144.

Notes:
After I had finished this hexagon, I thought - damn, I've seen this one before! Then I noticed, that I had used exactly the same color-combo as for Motif # 1. Although they are different in shape, the motifs look somehow similar because of the colors. My goal for the last set of motifs to come: find at least one unique color-combo that I haven't used before!

Notes:
Just dc's and chains. Sometimes I really love those motifs where you just take a quick look at the graphic pattern, and then start crocheting right away without having to check the instructions after each round. So relaxing! :)

Notes:
A lacy hexagon with several chain-spaces and picots, so it needs a little blocking to look perfect.

Progress: 103 of 144

Notes:
I was so looking forward to trying this motif, because it features the Leaning Tower stitches that I have learned when I made motif # 109, a square. Love this stitch and the effect it creates, I can't wait to start a bigger project using this stitch!

Motif # 29

Category: Hexagons

Progress: 99 of 100+

Notes:
Let's check out what makes this hexagon so special: the solid center is made with spike stitches, i.e. sc's worked over the first round stitches into the ring. Then we've got some dc5togs that form the "petals", and finally some Picot-3's in the last round. A beauty! By the way: only one more motif to the big 100... :)

Notes:
Some of the hexagons are star-shaped, like this one. It's so cute with the chain loops in the middle and the picots in the last round. Love it!!

Notes:
That's another hexagon that was difficult to photograph on a black background. The color combo I've used looks somewhat different from the ones I usually pick, and I think I've never used this shade of blue before or after. Not sure if I like it.

Notes:
Finally I can post this motif! I've made this hexagon a few month back, when I still used the black background for my motifs - and I just wasn't able to get a good shot of this one, the white always looked somehow yellow-ish. And it would have been a pity to skip this one, don't you think? I love how it turns from circle to star to hexagon! ♥

Another nice flower motif. The little ch3-spaces in the last round make the petals look "fluffy" - I like it, you don't see that very often.

Oooh, I like the corners of this hexagon, don't you? They look like little crowns. I can imagine making lots of those motifs and joining them on the corners to form a beautiful shawl.

Notes:
Easy hexagon, again with a round of sc - ch1, which I love! I used a very light shade of green for this row in between the two white rows, so unfortunately it doesn't look as striking as it could have. Next time :)

Notes:
This is a very simple hexagon, dc's and chains only, the last round is made with sc's. Easy and relaxing, could possibly look nice when lots of those hexagons are joined to a blanket.
