Yes, it's at least a start and with the pending weather I'll have plenty of time to pull some loops without feeling guilty for not working in the yard. Weatherman said with the cold front coming in there will probably be thunder around 10 p.m. when the cold hits the warm like a tone of bricks. We will get rain but not enough to cause flooding but probably not enough to cure our drought either. But at least some rain but with some high winds so there will be limbs to pick up after it is over.
Anyway, so far I've just used wool from my woolie worms and will continue to do that until the colors I need aren't handy.
Well hell's bells. The wool I chose is much too bright compared to Magdalelna's, but sure seemed it worked when sitting under the OTT light and checking the photo. Actually looking at the paper print out as well as the rug on my iPad. How could I have made such a drastic error in color choices?
So I just might be 'beginning again' tomorrow. Perhaps the rest of the evening I'll work on binding the Giant Flower rug while I ponder whether to rip out what I've hooked or just decide that it is, after all, an adaptation of an antique. Hope I'll come to a decision as I "sleep on it".

Holy hell, woman. You are your own worst critic/enemy. It is your rug and doesn't need to be an exact copy. That is a very ambitious rug.
ReplyDeleteWe went from spring-like weather this morning...sunny and very mild...to rain, wind and cold temps in a matter of hours. I prefer the spring-like weather...lol!
I bet when you hook more , what you have done will be great ! Damp , rainy day here
ReplyDeleteRobin is right, you are you own worst enemy. Looks fine to me. We had snow this morning, then turned to rain. Janice
ReplyDeleteYour colors may not exactly replicate the original but I like them. I don't see "brighter," I see "richer." Miserable here...That flipping wind is doing me in. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteOhhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteGoing to be so much fun!!!! 😄😄
Love it,,,elaine
Lately, I'm having difficulty with distinguishing shades of color, unless I'm in the natural light. My eyes are getting dimmer and even driving at night is getting more difficult.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are a bit richer than the original but you won't be using this rug side by side with the original. In the end, you have to please yourself. You always do such a good job.
Raining again here all weekend...😥
