Hexipuffs, hats and rabbits

I'm waiting for some new needles to arrive before I knit anymore hexipuffs. I had been using two Knitpro interchangeable needles, but the part where the needle joins the cable was fractionally wider than the needle, and I had to stop and ease the stitches over it each time, which was slowing me down and possibly wearing the yarn. I sent for two short Addi turbo needles at the weekend and am anxiously awaiting their arrival now!
I'm very nearly finished my SweetG hat, and need to look out some fingerless mitt patterns to knit in the same yarn.
The rabbits continue to keep me busy, or should I say, in permanent headless chicken mode!

In the running for "World's worst blogger" award.....

......One of these days I'll update regularly (possibly!)

I've just joined a KAL (knit along) in one of the Ravelry groups that I am in. It's for a fantastic blacket/quilt, called "Beekeeper's Quilt" and is made up of hundreds of knitted and stuffed hexagons. I'm using scraps of sock yarns to make a multi-coloured one, and am really enjoying it so far.
