Friday Night Hexagon

Last night, which happened to be a Friday, I was at home enjoying a beer and some crochet
(as you do). I commented on Instagram that if you had told me in my 20’s that this would
represent my perfect evening, I would have looked at you bewilderedly and probably
laughed. But here I am, on the doorstep of 40, and I couldn’t be happier with an evening in
with some yarn and my hooks! And as your comments indicated, I’m not alone. It’s nice to
have found my tribe of fellow crochet nerds!

I felt compelled to play around
without an agenda or a plan, just to
see where my hook took me. As it
turned out, it took me down the path
of creating a petite, lacy hexagon,
with a flowery center. I hope you
enjoy experimenting with your own
color combinations and making your
own! I’m calling it Friday Night
Hexagon, which, while not
necessarily descriptive of the motif
(save for its shape), captures for me
the joy of weekend night crochet.
