My log cabin rug

The rush for patterns to be drawn and dolls to be made and shipped has eased up a little so can sit and relax and hook.  I should be cleaning but hey, that dust and dog hair will still be there tomorrow, right?

Decided to move my rug on the frame so decided to take a picture.  Actually took two pictures with two different settings. 

And, while it was off the frame thought I'd better find out if I have enough of the background wool and see if I needed to order more. Oh no, say it isn't so.  Since I'm hooking in #8.5 folded the wool over 5 layers and it doesn't look like I'll have enough to do the entire background. 

Okay, then I went back 3 years worth of Betsy wool samples and 3 years of Rebecca samples so that I could order more.  Oh no, say it isn't so...... I couldn't find that wool in their samples whatsoever.  Now I'm wondering if it was a yard I'd purchased on sale at Woolley Fox when I was there... and it could have been.  It's a dark dark navy texture with little lines of a grey and tan in places.So what I plan to do is keep hooking and if I do run out then I'll just have to pull out wool in various places and fill in with something close.

Dont'cha just hate it when that happens?
