ANOTHER RUG SHOW

 A few new to me rugs to share with you.  Must admit that none of them float my boat so none will be put in the 'to hook' list.  With nothing else going on in my small little world thought that instead of absence on my blog, I'd do this show.

This one reminds me of an argyle sweater or socks for some reason.  What I do find interesting is how the hooker achieved those blocks...did she hook a thin light strip of yarn/textile between the colors to achieve the stripe?  Would imagine so since it would be difficult to find striped textured wool in all those colors.

The next one with the central design of leaves is less interesting than the border.  Wonder if this was a printed pattern or did the rug hooker draw it?  And if she drew it why would she choose leaves instead of something more interesting?  Hooked late 19th to early 20th century (19 x 32).  But saved it anyway.

A round 15" mat hooked early 20th century.

A floral hooked 19th century measuring 29 x 39.

No information on the delicate looking rug with birds and flowers.  Lovely rug but I wouldn't want to hook it.  No other information was posted.

Some of the images on the rug below are difficult to see.  On the left is a cat or dog wanting to climb a tree, a couple images undecipherable, a donkey and woman with a child on a swing.  No date or size provided.

Cat and kittens with hit and miss border was taken off FB when someone visited an antique shop.

An old flower and stars hooked rug, photo borrowed from the same FB post.

Tattered deer rug, 25 x 36 with no estimate of age.

Having a heatwave....it reached a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit today in my neck of the woods.  But the white rock-hard snow still won't melt from the previous snowfall.  So rug hooking is in my forecast.
