CAT REDUX and SNOW

How many more times must I re-hook that poor cat until I'm satisfied?  The cat seemed too light compared to the rest of the rug.  Here is the before.
Here is the redux.
Soon the rug will be hooked so that will be the final visual test.  I've hooked the deer on the far left side but want to keep that for the next showing.  This rug has been such fun to hook I'm almost sad it is close to done.

According to the local news Seaford had a total of 7.5" of snow.  Here are a two photos from this morning.  These are of the back yard.  

The snow will melt with rain coming in and might bring back Woodland lake again.  But must say I'm totally sick of the white stuff tho.  Come on Spring.

Joanna T., thanks for you advice.  I didn't see an email attached to your profile so couldn't reply to you personally.  I'll replace this PC with a DELL which will also save me money.  I think this most recent memory card was corrupted by my usb port.  Might have to purchase a new PC before October dang it.  I hate it when things don't work.  And yet I know it will be a struggle and learning curve with a new one.

Happy Hooking.

    So what’s next? I know…you are going to keep us wondering.
    No snow here but rain turning to ice. I’d rather have snow.

  5. Hate to say this but I do like the redux of the kitty. Liked it before, but now much better. We had 7 inches overnight. Tired of snow. Janice

  6. Love, love, love your rug. The kitty is purfect! What size cut do you use? Your hooking is so uniform, something I struggle with. I too am tired of the white stuff!
    Hope to hear back from you on size of wool cuts.
    Thanks!

    1. Colleen, I just tried writing to the only Colleen I have in my address file "primcrazy" and the mail bounced. I'm using mostly #8.5 cuts but more narrow where required like eyes, outlining, etc.

    2. Saundra,
      I am just an admirer, not "primcrazy" and do not have a blog. I hook in #8 cut but do love how your rugs turn out. They are perfect!
      Thank you for your response.

  7. Omg, 8.5 cut! Does it hurt your wrist, Saundra? I love the color change for the kitty, definitely blends better with the rest of the rug. Jan in MA
