That Blue Bowl Again

Although I have several different size rug hooking frames it is still a struggle for me to work on large rugs.  Even if I roll the heavy long side up and secure it in the middle and the ends there's an issue rotating the frame because the stiffness of the heavy side hits my end table or the basket of wool at my side.  BUT, once this sucker is done think mama will be a happy hooker.

I'd be interested in hearing how you readers deal with what I consider big rugs~ particularly you Tanya if you read this.

In case you've forgotten, the pattern I drew for myself measures 30 x 41.  AND..... I previously hooked Domestic Zoo which, if I recall, is 67" long. Honestly did consider making Blue Bowl pattern smaller and would do that for anyone who wishes to hook it smaller.  But somehow I mustered up the courage to go big or go home ~ as the saying goes.

I know at the end I'll need to tone down some of the light/bright colors but that will occur after it is all hooked and bound.

Less than two weeks away from rug camp just an hour away.  But I'll be staying at the Suites and eating on my own vs. the dining hall in the hotel.  Will be my first time doing that there but is how we did it when attending Barb Carroll's camp at her previous Ligonier property.

Happy hooking.
