Hooky blanket progress and a nice new bag

I have been busy busy hooking my new hexagon blankie, and I have managed to complete the second row on all 140 circles. 
 
Sorting them into groups for row three was a bit of a pig as I don't want any colour repeats but need to make sure I have an even amount of hexagons in each colour. Sam had to help me out with this as I was getting myself I a bit of a state. What with them all spread out on the floor and the dogs trying their hardest to pinch them I really wasn't getting anywhere quick so Sam came to my rescue :) And now I have eight neat little bundles all tied in the colour yarn I will use for their third row. the fourth row will be cream for all 140 Hexies so no sorting needed there. I'm just going to throw them all in the air and mix them up, then put them in my bag and pull them out at random, as I hook each fourth row I will join the hexagons together. Simples :)

 My mummy sent me some pennies this month as I had made her a few hats lately. I popped into the wool shop on my way out this morning and saw they had a new red spotty wool bag for sale, I had to have it of course :)  Isn't it beautiful!!!
Thank you Mummy!!! Do you want any more hats? ;)
