More ambition than sense...

I have started a stupidly ambitious knitting project. It's a blanket made of scraps of leftover sock yarn.

The thing with sock yarn is, it's quite fine and makes quite small stitches.

The thing with blankets is, they are definitely larger than socks.

Eventually, I hope it will look like the pattern. For now, I have eighteen and a half small hexagons, when a 3' x 4' lap blanket takes more than 380 hexagons.

Send help. Also, spare scraps of sock yarn, as I'm running out fast... looks like I need to finish some more socks.

Might work faster as a baby blanket :D?

Very amused here. I had seen in on your Rav page I think, just after I'd seen the pattern for the first time. (Side note, really must update my Rav page at some point.) HAve you considered buying sock yarn just for this instead of only using leftovers? It'd be faster.
