It's been a few weeks since picking up the snowman rug to continue binding it, and longer since hooking it. Looking at it more critically decided I should re-hook the bottom letters with the sky wool. So moseyed upstairs to relocate what was leftover from the wool skirt rescued years ago to see if there was enough to do the job.
Do you see that one lone strip of wool just under the wording at the bottom of the rug? That is the only strip left from hooking the sky. Just under that one strip are 5 wider strips of the same length.
But now, since this is a Christmas gift, guilt is building up and feel it would be a shoddy job if the wool in the bottom letters didn't match the sky. Or, lol... sorta like if the curtains don't match the carpet ~ sorry, just couldn't resist that comparison.
So this time decided to measure the one strip of wool against the dark section of the other 5 to see if there would be enough. And think it will, or at least it will be really close. But if it isn't I'll fudge it somehow, as I think it needs to be sky color and not the dark green.
Today that will be my task, rehooking the letters and finish the binding. Or at least hope the binding gets completed today. I've got a friend who will bind with me long distance today while we both watch The Five. Hope to show you the finished job real soon.

ReplyDeleteGood grief...you're beginning to sound way too much like me LOL. But I, personally, like your decision. I don't know if I said as much when you showed your final version and talked about the green letters, but I think it will look better with the sky color...even if you need to fudge a bit. Looking forward to seeing it. I think I only have 1 side left to bind...and then sew on a hanging pocket. At my pace, I might get it done by Christmas. ;-) "See" you at 5/4.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lauren...but you need to be happy about it. Janice
