- I've made some more progress on my beekeeper's quilt or hexipuff blanket - turning my waste into a snuggly, squishy blanket! I've already tried out 4 ways to make them, and today I found I think my favorite way!
Shoutout to @RetroClaude for the inspiration for this project!

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!
I love the idea of the community sending you flowers! Count me in!
I love the idea of making hexipuffs and watching all the hexipuffs from all over the globe become one giant quilt. What a lovely idea, and I’d be happy to make some.
Today’s been hard and I didn’t expect to play this video and feel like someone else gets it. Thank you. Didn’t expect to actually cry about it, but maybe that’s a good thing, Idk. I hate when a migraine spends hours just making me feel ugh before actually revealing itself to be a migraine which delays taking the medicine for it. I feel you. Thank you for being real.
That's the worst! I hope you can find relief and feel better soon. ❤
I'd love to make a flower for your blanket! And just remember you are brilliant and loved and an inspiration to all of us! X
The draping of the strand of unstuffed hexipuffs over your immediately made me think of a making dragon hat/ hood. They would make great dragon scales.
We love you no matter what, just please take care of yourself ❤️💫✨
You are so inquisitive, patient and clever, while I’m scared to even try a knitting machine! Very impressed with all you do, and enjoy your videos very much!!
I used to get migraines. Even after the pain is gone, there was always a kind of hangover period afterwards where I wasnt in pain, but I was foggy for a day or so. Im so glad I no longer have them. Hugs to you, and my heart goes out to you. Just take care of yourself and hugs to you.
I'm so grateful that you shared your migraine story. It helps me to know I'm not alone! Thank you!
I would be happy to send you some flower petals! It sounds like a great way to have a community blanket full of care.
puffs on the head is such an inspirational look!
Sewing the hexies together as you make them is ingenious! I may try it but, like you pointed out, lots would be needed to actually create a usable item. I would like to send them to you rather than add to my ufo collection.
I just started mine! I knit socks almost exclusively, so I have a ton of scraps to use up. I haven’t tried my CSM for these yet but i might give it a try. Maybe mine will have some “decorative stripes” in the center 😂
I love using my scrap ends to stuff items. I make knitted gnomes and that's what I use to stuff them it doesn't clump together and keeps a better shape.
Also, some flower centers are black like sunflowrs and poppies.
Love those hexies! Great job finding an "easy" way to do them
You are hands down my Favorite creator ❤ thank you for your amazing content . 😊
Hugs to you on a difficult week. I enjoy your videos all the time.
Migraines stink. It is interesting how they can sneak up on you. Please take medication.
Making enough to cover the top and then crocheting and edge that drops over the side would be super cute. You could use a daisy motif. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
I would love to do a community project! I can see myself starting this project and getting bored after a couple hexis or flowers, so this sounds like the perfect solution to me!
I just started machine knitting and have a large amount of scraps. This is a great way of using them! I think it would be fun to make some petals to send you.
A girl we would love to send you hexipuffs! I was watching this thinking that I would love to make some but don't have enough yarn to make a whole blanket.
Please please please let us help with the quilt! Your videos helped me through some of the toughest times of my life and being able to send you something would feel like a small way of repaying for that. I will also be in Norway soon which I remember is on your list of places to visit and I'd love to pick up some local yarn to send you some unique hexis. It would also be a good trial for me to see if I could commit to such a quilt for myself. Of course I will respect it if you decide not to do it!
Love the idea... but haven't knitted socks yet so not sure I could tackle the project!
I also drape things over my head when I have a migraine. Something about the light weight and the whimsy helps my brain. I hope you're doing ok
Long time viewer, first time commenter: I think it's a great idea to do a community style quilt! If you don't end up doing it, could we still send you some sock yarn? I have a bunch I don't/won't use that I have acquired over the year and would love to help.
Thanks for showing us your method and process, even on a less-talkative day 💛 It’s nice to just be included, even if we’re just crafting quietly together. Please hang in there ✨ eta: love your sweater cream & yellow sweater. Also, I’d totally be down to send a flower! I’ve wanted to try the hexipuff method but didn’t want to commit to a whole blanket, since I don’t actually have a ton of scrap yarn
wooow!!! so excited that you asked us to make hexipuffs for your blanket!!! yes yes yess!!! where can I get the pattern I will do it! I will have to do mine by hand but I don’t mind. plus mine is extra special because I knit left-handed! I hope you use mine. Please say yesss 🤗🥳
Ive had migraines before and they're absolutely miserable! 😣 Im impressed you were able to sit up and work on the hexipuffs.
I think us sending you our yarns is a great idea - if you decide to go ahead with that i would send you the yellow i have left from the first jumper i ever made ❤ (it ended up not fitting me because my tension was waaay off so my mum has it now 😅)
Take care of yourself!
Ps. I LOVE your reindeer ski jumper its so cute 😊.
Count me in on sending in 6 petals! My feet are kinda small, so I have found myself with leftover sock yarn that I would be happy to use on a project like this
I would do those 6 puffs and send them to you anytime! 😅
These hexi puffs on your head: 👌🏻
Why not turn some of these stuffed hexi puffs into a beanie kind of head wear?
It would match perfectly with the hexi puff quilt on a cold evening on the sofa❤
Ariel here on youtube is just doing a Mugler dress made of subscribers scales. I love participati g in these intesense projects, would love to do it for you too!
Definitely feeling with you with the migraines... those can be so crippling and the meds often leave you groggy and mushy-brained for a good while. Hope you're feeling better! I bet there would be loads of people happily chipping in with some flowers... like I love the idea of these blankets, but neither do I have enough yarn scraps to make one myself nor do I need or want a blanket like that. But I could absolutely make one or two with the scraps I do have and send to you!
I would make some flower petals for you 😊
Hexi puff crown?? 😍
I would love to send you a flower. I hand knit but if I have the dimensions of each puff, I can work out the gauge.
I would love to contribute to the hexipuffs!
I’d love to contribute to your community flower blanket. Count me in ❤
I make so many socks and have so many scraps. I will 100% make you some puffs (handknit)!!!!!!!!
We can send you garn...or send you same flowers... Lol you asking it in the end...lol
spooky mice and scary hexipuffs. definitely not a good one 😭 hexipuffs are amongst the ugliest inventions of humankind.... your channel is normally soo beautiful. WHY?
