The hooking is done so binding process ensues. I don't have a favorite or consistent binding technique, so this time the rug calls for a wool whipped edge, me thinks. Friend Robin feels I'm making double work for myself by doing the two-step process of pre-whipping with thread then again with wool. But I find it easier not having to fidget with getting the roll tucked in while whipping.
The plans for distant trees didn't work as planned. A couple places appear to be trees but imagination is required to see others. Yet am happy this design finally got hooked and can cross it off my list.
Binding isn't as fun as hooking a rug but I've made peace with the task. Afterall, I can't enjoy the rug if it isn't completely finished. There's already a place in mind to hang it where it will be visible daily. It will replace the Angle and Crow so that one will retire until I find another location for it. I think Mother with the Fishbowl would approve.
Oh, but first, I just checked the level of propane left in the tank and I need to order another fill. The last delivery was made 1/13/26, and today is the 10th. Since that time I have burned through 197 gallons of propane to the tune of $679.93 PLUS whatever electricity was used to generate the fan and heating via heat pump when temps are above 39 degrees. Of which there have been few. Oh well, it's only money, right?

There were several women at my exercise class that were complaining about ordering fuel again. It has been such prolonged cold it is hard.
