Which as you are an incredible hooker and pattern seller, I know why that is so important especially in drawing out antique patterns which I may add appreciate so much. Keeping true to the design of the original. But that really is a beautiful pattern either way. I can't wait to see your next pattern you are working on.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-3135241169207414432022-07-29T08:51:30.868-04:002022-07-29T08:51:30.868-04:00I confess, that middle motif...

What does stand out clearly to me is the differences in the vase(?) - the spikey top and the side scallops are totally different. And those leaves on the 2 branches seem to be rather heavy or lumpy compared to the original. I can see why you're disappointed. The whole thing seems less graceful?<br /><br />Question - since this is reduced in size from the original, how much of that lack of gracefulness is due to the size of wool you are using? I'm wondering if maybe using smaller wool (or yarn?) so that was more the same scale as original was done would recapture it? No shade on your hooking! Simply idle pondering, while waiting for the coffee to kick in, from someone who's never hooked a rug.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-37321186060487822212022-07-28T21:15:29.448-04:002022-07-28T21:15:29.448-04:00Ugh!

I least if I make my own and don't like it, I am only upset with myself. Put it in timeout and do something fun. Hope you're staying cool or dry or . . .

In any event, your expert eye caught the discrepancies much sooner than I did. And it looks like you've corrected most of the most garish of the errors so don't let it sit in darkness too long. When you pull it out next it will be a breeze. 🤞 ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-824010488209562292022-07-28T17:55:29.404-04:002022-07-28T17:55:29.404-04:00I can see your point.

It almost looks like punishment working on this project and a waste of good wool, time and energy.<br />I sure hope that the new design will make you a happy hooker. <br /><br />It was supposed to rain today but nope, not this time. Not good for gardening but excellent for haying. <br /><br />Enjoy your new rug.<br />Hugs,<br />JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-72733735704638819762022-07-28T16:27:48.384-04:002022-07-28T16:27:48.384-04:00Now I see why you are so frustrated too .... there...Now I see why you are so frustrated too .... there isn't enough room for those details that make the design.....<br />Hope your New project will be lots of Fun to hook after this one drove you crazy ....<br />sorry this happened to you ....NMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991594663697615793noreply@blogger.com
