Yup, now that the border is hooked it's time to build a ship and make the sails.
It will get real dicey when hooking the flags at the top as they look like colored floss is the only thing that would work. Believe it or not I've not gotten bored with this rug yet. Perhaps because it has historical meaning with ancestors taking this ship from England to America. In fact, to Baltimore, MD.
As I progress will bore you with the ancestral tree which begins with those sea bearing English immigrants. Will also refresh your memory on the original antique rug which inspired my work.
The Snowman rug isn't completely bound and still don't have my next hooking project chosen yet as there are a couple in the running. Plus, as you all know, and have proclaimed, I'm a very fickle hooker and can change my mind in a heartbeat.
Happy Hooking.
It is looking great!

Holy moly!!! You are one determined hooker. I can't believe the ship will soon be in America. Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking AMAZING!! It's definitely one of my favorite rugs you've hooked. The design, the colors, the hooking itself - everything is beyond wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing this is looking thus far. Janice
ReplyDeleteI think it's really wonderful. I haven't pulled a loop in ages.
ReplyDeleteI love that rug, I love your background too. What a very cool rug. I just love seeing your progress. I am a very slow hooker right now. I went back to work again.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get myself together now. Have a lovely weekend.
Looks Beautiful Saundra ! The sails would scare me and so would those little flags. You will make it perfectly !!!
