A Hooking Progression


Hello friends.
Hope this post finds you all well.
After I finished working on my crow pillow,
I thought it was time 
to pull out my hook, linen and worms.


I had this pattern drawn out 
on paper for months now.
When I first drew it on linen.
I screwed up with my boxes.
UGH
So I re-drew my lines and placed an 
"X" where I wanted to hook my 
hit and miss.


Day 1 progression.
I did not have enough black,
therefore my outlines are a dark brown.
Now this probably does not look like a lot done.
Well I only am able to work on my lunch hour.
that is after I actually eat.


Day 2


Day 3


Day 4


Day 5


Day 6
This was Sunday afternoon 
the Sunday before
 Mother's Day.
They released us from work at noon,
so after I ate lunch,
I actually worked a few hours on this
while watching some tv.
If you can see, some of my rows
are a bit wonky.
I hand cut all of my strips,
so they are not all even.
A very primitive look indeed.
I dont really have a color plan for this
hit or miss part of the rug.
I just grab a worm and use it.

If you notice, the middle is also blank.
Well I do have a plan for that.
Just want to wait and draw that
until I am completed with the border.
I will give you a clue though.
It will be that of my favorite animal.
Do you know what that will be?

Hooking Progression Blessings To All!
Janice

  1. You've accomplished quite a lot. Aren't you the smart one by keeping the center a secret. Leaves us wanting a little more.

  7. It is those little minutes here and there that are so easily wasted, but not the case with you. I love the ever so slightly prim look of the piece. My guess for the center is a rabbit.

  10. Janice, my guess is a kitty too, but whatever it is will be wonderful. I love the look of hooked rugs. The colors just look old and primitive. Just what you want..Stay well..xxoJudy

  11. It's looking great Janice...even with limited time you are a much quicker hooker than I (gee...that doesn't sound quite "right," does it LOL?) I would venture a guess at either a kitteh...or a bunneh....ha ha....can't narrow it down! ~Robin~
