Last Loops Pulled

Yes, the last loops were pulled on the Horse Trainer, an antique adaptation of a rug originally hooked by Julia Eastman Stubbs of Maine. She hooked it around 1860.  I chose the right side of the rug as my project since I had a horse as a teen.  Although I didn't use a whip it was depicted in the original rug.

Now the rug needs to be bound ~~ and not my favorite thing to do.  Yet it is part of the process unless you have the revenue to afford someone else to do that part for you.  UH.... I don't.

I'm considering whipping this with wool purchased from Ali at Cape May rug camp but not sure if there is enough.  

The rug measures 22 x 47.  The round yank of wool measures 28" long and there are 39 strands. 

OMG,  seems I've got to call on my math skills here.... hmmm...

.....yarn 28" long X 2 = 56"  ~  Times 39 strands round.

Me thinks me needs to ponder this a little more and recall my math skills to see if I have enough.  

Have a great Friday evening.
