A Beekeeper's Cushion

There was something about when the pandemic first began that put me in a “make due and mend” mindset. Maybe it was the uncertainty of what was going to happen next. Maybe it was the lack of toilet paper.

But… I was suddenly in the mood to finish or at least start working on my abandoned projects again.

If you are a longtime reader of this blog, you may recall when I was all fired up about the Beekeeper’s Quilt. I was. I truly was. I had every intention of making 500 million of these hexipuffs and having an epic puffy blanket to show for my efforts.

But for whatever reason. I lost steam. I felt like I was dedicating all of my spare time to knitting these adorable stuffed hexagons… but when I would put them altogether to check the size of my “blanket” it was shocking how many more I had to complete to get the large squishy, scrappy blanket of my dreams.

But recently I have tried to develop a “something is better than nothing” mentality and thought I would start piecing these together to at least have something to show for all of my hours spent knitting cute puffy hexagons on tiny needles.

So… I made a cushion for my desk chair.

I love the texture and cute pop of color. And it makes me happy to finally put those sweet hexipuffs to good use. I still have several more.. so I have some more cushions to create soon!
