Crochet Hexagons Obsession
The Amethyst Brook Crocheted Afghan is the pattern I’ve been waiting for. I’ve been collecting colors of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool for years now, waiting for just the right afghan pattern to come along. When I saw the sample afghan for this new Valley Yarns pattern sitting in customer service at work I gasped and new instantly that THIS was the pattern I was waiting for. 
I assumed I would grow tired of making so many hexagons. All those ends, all those color changes are so tedious. But instead, each one was exciting to make. Each one was one step closer to my finished afghan that I’ve been waiting years to have.
So I’m about half way through the afghan. I’m still not sure how I’m going to choose the final placement of hexagons…random or deliberate placement??? I’m not sure.

That’s a great yarn for that project. I love it so far! I’m not sure if it’s random or deliberate, but I like the right hand picture placement.
Right hand pict is random. That’s all the yarn I’m using for the blanket, except for a couple more dark brown skeins.
I loved this pattern when I first saw it. Your colour scheme is lovely to see, to appreciate how such different colour schemes can look equally wonderful.
I’d love to make this, but have not crocheted for many, many years. How much time did it take you to make one hexagon……?
It takes me about 7-8 minutes to do 3 rounds of a hexagon. I’m making all of these first, then I will join them.
Hi, just wondering if you ever finished this? I love the pattern too but am not sure I have the staying power to see it though. 
@Eleanora, I haven’t finished it yet. Holiday and baby knitting took over. And I’ve decided to make it bigger, so I’m adding 50 hexagons to it. But I’m still not tired of making the hexagons. It’s been a lot of fun.
