We had to leave the water dripping last night---it was 26 degrees this morning but hoping for a warm-up as we head north tomorrow. Here is what my rug looked like this morning.
the last two photos show the upper left flower done two different ways---the last photo shows how I hooked it the first time and the one above shows how I hooked it the second time---I think I like it better---but who knows---I may just leave both versions in the rug.
I am now starting to experiment with the border...here is a photo of my first trial---I have since changed the vine to a red/gold/black check instead of the gold---I think it shows up better.
We are off to do more touristy things---going to see La Presidio.
I am using the internet at the local library---we do not get it at the campground. Thank goodness for warm libraries.
Anita,
ReplyDeleteI just love this rug. It is so interesting to follow all the changes you make as you go along. I am learning so much! Your colors are fabulous. Do you do your own dyeing?

Love it Anita!!!! It will be great to see you in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteAnita, your runner is seriously lovely.
ReplyDeleteI too have enjoyed watching the development.
Your choice of colors are delicious!
What is the background? Is it one piece of wool or a mixture of darks? It works really well.
Hoping you find some warmth soon.
The background is one dark plaid-lumberjack. I do dye my own wool. Only have Internet on my phone so will have to wait to do a new post update.
