I completed a 3rd handspun hexiflat (top middle). It’s a little larger due to thicker yarn but by the time I have 500 more and sew them up I’m sure that’ll block right out”. Plus I’ll have lots of slightly different sizes to mix and match. I wonder if I’ll remember the provenance of each of my hexiflats. Maybe the handspun ones, if I take notes. Bottom middle, a hexiflat made from regular fingering sock yarn (not handspun). #knitting #handspun #handspinning #spinning #FiberArts #BeekeepersQuilt
I started my beekeeper ‘s quilt a few years ago but haven’t worked on it consistently. I have 52 hexiflats (I decided not to stuff them) and I need something like 450-550 at a minimum (the pictured one above has 672). It’s going to be a while even if I establish some kind of rhythm like at least a couple every week. #knitting #Beekeepersquilt (2/2)
Is anyone else working on a Beekeeper’s Quilt? There are 10.5K projects listed on Rav but many are abandoned or finished at much much smaller sizes. This one is amazing and the notes indicate she started in 2015 and finished this year. Page available to Rav members only but here’s a screenshot. #BeekeepersQuilt #knitting

I finally made progress on one of the Fiber Goals I set for 2025: “Make some hexiflats for my beekeeper’s quilt, especially from handspun.” I officially have 2 handspun hexiflats now and i have figured out I have 2 additional handspun skeins I can also do something from. I mean I also have extra yarn of the same ones so I can make more but DIFFERENT ones is the unspoken part of the goal. #knitting #fiberArts #Beekeepersquilt #FiberGoals
