I've been working on my hexagons again. I told you about piecing these hexagons back in this post. After I had all the hexagons pieced together I had to let them sit and marinate for a while. (Another word for putting it off.) You know how that goes, right!?!?
I had made hexagons out of smaller pieces like this one.
And now I am finally sewing the hexagons together. I made equilateral triangle paper pieces by cutting some diamonds in half. Then I basted them to this nice off-white fabric with small dots in it. These triangles fill in the spaces between my hexagons. I laid all the pieced hexagons out on my bed. Then I arranged and rearranged them until I was happy with the placement of each one.
Here are two rows which I have joined together.
More examples of how some of the hexagons were pieced.
So I did quite a bit of this sewing yesterday. Quite. A. Bit. I realized later that I had sewn for a few hours all in one sitting. I had the time, so I just kept going. Well, the trouble didn't manifest itself until this morning. Then I could feel a lot, LOT of soreness in my left wrist. Below is a picture of my wrist. Now, this is a dramatization, and is not at all an accurate representation of my joints. (Just having a little fun here. . .)
But my wrist is definitely sore. I think I may have to try crocheting for a few days instead, and see if it is a little easier on my wrist. I've started a pink baby afghan. It's a simple single crochet pattern, with two rows of {double crochet, space one} whenever I feel like it.
Hopefully this soreness will go away on its own in a few days. (Keeping my fingers crossed!)
