TOMORROW

Hard to believe tomorrow is October already.  Seems like the last 9 months have zipped by like when I fast forward thru TV commercials.  Yet when I was a teen it seemed like forever for an anticipated event to happen in just a week.  

Anyway, here is the hook along design a few of us will start tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to having a 'plus one' to work on and give me a break from the small critters I've been hooking of late.  Here is some yardage and cannot recall where it was purchased but had been here for years until I found it at the bottom of a shelf.  Finally used it in my reclining sheep rug and still have some left.

Went first to the worm baggie and pulled those left from the sheep rug to start with the outlines.  The dark red stripe from the plaid will be used in the hearts along with an overdyed piece you also see.  As for the rest of the color planning, that will be by the seat of my pants as it always is.

Although I drew what I saw in the original antique below, I just might change the right inside heart to make it more heart shaped.  Could still have it look a little wonky but not as much as in the photo below.  Perhaps the woman who hooked it years ago ran out of the red and filled in with what she had.  You know that old saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without".

Am looking forward to seeing color choices the other 9 participants will make.  It is always fun to see how other folks hook the same design and just how much color affects the results.  Participants are free to take creative license to make their rug one they will enjoy.

Happy hooking!! 💖
