Many have asked to see my rug since mentioning the change of design mid-hooking. Here is a photo of the before when sketching a 'thought'. You can see the hooking thru the leaves on the left side.
As I continued hooking it appeared to me there were too many leaves between the flower groups and had an idea.
This is what my rug looks like now as I push thru my newer design with a softer look. Funny thing is I could never decide on a great looking flower shape That is why they all seem so different. But me thinks once this bad girl is on the floor (or sold, if lucky) no-one will ever notice.
FYI, the outside border will be wider and grow as I continue to hook, Plus I'm enjoying this monochromatic floral as a challenge to myself. And it was all inspired by Cindy Irwin with her beautiful overdyed roll of wool at rug camp. Thanks for that Cindy.
