This rug 'might' be done but am going to take a breather and look at it on my monitor and compare it to before. Here are the changes I made:
~ changed flower at bottom totally.
~ made all triangles in the green/purple plaid
~ replaced the halter color with the darker brown red
~ put the gold on all triangle outside edges
~ replaced front hoof wool with darker red
~ replaced inside butterfly with blue plaid and pulled out light grey
This is now.
This was before.
And as luck would have it I've no new rug for the frame. Ned needs to be bound anyway and right now there is no pattern in my stash which is shouting 'hook me, hook me'.
Therefore, I plan to pull some loops on a small stool mat started last year sometime to use up worms. Now seems as good a time as any to pull a few more loops since I've a pile of precut wool beside me on the sofa. They need to be tidied up so may as well tidy them right into that small mat.
Ned is an antique adaptation offered by Woolley Fox.
Sweet Kim, this is for you to make you feel cool and comfy. This is what it is like here for me today.
Happy Saturday everyone.

Most of the boring borders have been hooked and a few changes have been made. So guess it is time to show the still undecided finish of Ned.
You can see that the gold outline of the triangles was done but still undecided what colors to hook inside. Right now there are four purple/green plaid, one blue like the mane and one with nothing.
So I'm thinking maybe I should make the empty and blue space purple/green and hook blue inside the flower and butterfly.
The brighter red halter was pulled out and used the same wool as is in Ned's first foot as the wide line around his neck. Am thinking that is also too bright. The other part of the halter is wool just placed to fill the area which is the same as the border. I'm thinking that is what should be hooked in all the halter areas.
So chickadees, tonight my attention is going to be on beginning the binding of my grandson's rug and will let Ned roam the pasture for a bit.
Have a great evening and thanks for visiting.
