To those of you who thought I'd be finished hooking this by now, you're wrong. The hooking area is narrowing down tho so won't be too much longer. Am quite pleased the majority suggested I revert back to the hit and miss although my take on it might be too bland.
Today I drew out a small mat but haven't started it yet because I'm still working out of my worm bags and will need them with the new mat. And, stitched another star square for my never-ending-quilt with 5 more squares to go before it is evaluated again.

You sure do hook purty my friend. Personally, I find hit and miss a bit tedious....that starting stopping thing, you know?? Yeah, you know. 😉 But definitely not bland.... ~et~
ReplyDeleteIt's going great!!!I always enjoy hit and miss,,,,,Spring has sprung slowly,
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great !!! With the nice weather we have had , I haven't pulled a single loop , today is cold & windy again , so will definitely be hooking !!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's bland at all. The hit and miss provides just enough interest. Compared to the original, I like your colors better. It's more of a supporting role allowing the shield to stand out. The original, unless it's in shadows or very dirty, the shield sort of blends right into the background. Then again, I'm not a rug hooker, I'm speaking more from quilt experience. Do color and texture lessons from quilting transfer to rug hooking?
ReplyDeleteYour stars are perfect!! Mine never are. The hit or miss is not too bland in my opinion. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooking good in the neighborhood! Love the muted colors. Janice
