MORE THAN HALFWAY

.. and over the moon happy.  Normally I'd have gotten bored by now and wish I had a 'plus one' to work on .  But am still enjoying pulling loops on Magdalena's Animal Parade.  I didn't draw mine as large as the original (45 x 115) nor the sizes offered by Woolly Fox (33 x 79 and 32 x 96).  I drew this one to a comfortable and workable wide cut size of 20 x 48.
Am using mostly 8.5 wool strips with more narrow for some outlines and dots for eyes.  I've tried to stay close to the original colors but using colors in my stash.  If you'd like to compare to the original colors you can see the original somewhere in a previous blog post HERE.  You will also see Cindy Jeffcoat's rendition which I am in awe of ~ kudos to you Cindy.  You hook everything so well.

It is frigid here in Delaware, yeah, I know not nearly as cold as it is in other states.  But below normal for us here on the eastern shore.  This too will pass, as they say.  Besides, it IS winter.
