That title...in this case known as reverse hooking and fixing. Notice anything different from what you recall from the last update? If nothing sticks out right away take a look at the top left corner then compare to the photo below.
My initial line drawing from the antique was done with what I saw and the lines didn't match up at either end. Below is the original antique
At first I decided to not bother changing anything but by the time I reached the other corners I made changes to ensure the proper block lineups. Of course every time I looked at the top left side of the rug with the awkward lines the more it drove me cray cray. The top left was off and I had fix it.
Now to the sore thumb ~ It normally happens in the winter and used to get them often when making dolls. But has been years since having a dry cracked thumb, until now. Thankfully I had some "Crack Cream" handy and have been babying my thumb for 3 days. It's on the mend but still sorta tender.
Snow coming my way Saturday night into Sunday. As of this writing the prediction for my area is 1-3". Higher amounts further north of me. Hope that is all I get.
Have a great weekend and remember happiness grows in ones own garden.

To be honest, I would have never noticed it until you pointed it out. Both versions looked good to me. Hope the snow passes you. I have not looked at our weather for the next few days. Guess I should. Janice
ReplyDeleteIt took me some studying and flipping back and forth but I finally see what you are talking about... (I think?? LOL) It looks like there are "less" lines/rows in your revised version and it does symmetrical/harmonious with the other squares. Sorry to hear of your thumb woes and hope it heals quickly. I've had that a couple of times - as well as crack cuts on my pinkies - and know it's painful.
ReplyDeleteI think your points line up perfectly and the upper left looks better. Thumb cracks, I had forgotten about them. They are the worst. I hope I don't get them and I'm sorry that you might be in the process thereof. Love the rug.
ReplyDeleteI really had a hard time seeing what your meant , but I think it looks so pretty anyway. Oh those nasty cracks in your fingers ....they are painful . I try to pot lotion on my hands every night when I watch TV .
