CATS PAW Update

I've a wee bit accomplished on the Cats Paw rug and had to force myself to stop and show you.  I've also included the background light textures I'm using.

And what a difference setting makes on the same camera.  Gives the wool a whole different color.  So pick the one you like best,, lol.

Have decided I'll add another row of border and will use the same random dark textures as I hook around.

Must go cut grass now as it will rain tomorrow with a front coming thru.  When I come in it will be time to make some Minestrone soup and then will work on Windy Day.

If anyone decides to join me in this cats paw journey I'd love for you to share a picture with me.  And when we are done I'll do a post of our finished pieces.

Tata for now and stay safe.

What's New..... (Updated with a p.s.)

What does this container of neutral worms.....

This blank linen.....

....well it's blank on one side but the other side was once a pattern I'd drawn of The Cousins now cut in half.  

and this scanned page from an old magazine issue have in common?

They all relate to my new project, a Cats Paw design you see on the table in the photo above.  After turning the page my eyes went straight to that rug  ~ no, there wasn't a pattern for it in the magazine so drew up my own.  After  seeing the cats paw design I knew it had to be next on my frame.

Windy Day isn't done yet but wanted to start a second project so I've something to show on my blog without being repetitive and boring.  Does anyone wish to join me?  It isn't difficult to draw circles and the more wonky the better.  So if you'd  like to join me pull out a piece of linen any size to hook a chair pad, small mat or more sizable rug.  Mine measures 15 x 24 using up half The Cousins pattern.

Those worms didn't need to be gathered as they were already sitting on my cutting table as they hadn't been separated and put away.

Hope this blog post catches each of you feeling well.

     p.s.  After publishing this post I received this email from Pat Cross:
                         "Cats Paw - the magazine that picture came from is OLD!!  It's the picture that gave me the idea for "Antique Pennies" that's in my first book.  I hooked my version 20+ years ago.  Can't wait to see yours!  Be safe....Pat"

The book Pat is referring to (she has 2 books) is Purely Primitive.  Here is a picture of the book in case you have it on your shelf or if you'd like to purchase one from Amazon.

Hope all is well with my friends, and happy hooking.
