A Different Kind of Post (with Addendums)

I don't do cross stitch but in my past I did some crewel and embroidery.  No way I'd ever do counted cross stitch because that would drive me insane me thinks.  I would like to show you a project which Donna is working on which inspired her to purchase the antique adaptation of the 

E.S. Frost Sheep with Birds rug pattern.  

Donna is also a rug hooker and wanted to hook the rug to have in the same room where her stitchery would be.  This is the stitchery design offered by The Goode Huswife and I'd say she did a dang good job depicting the design of the hooked rug.

Thanks for the picture Donna and it allows me one more day to delay showing progress (or lack of) on my Ox Farm design.  She did say this pattern is out of print and could sometimes be seen on eBay for an inflated price.

This is the original antique E.S. Frost Sheep rug.

And here is my hooked version without the fringe.

Happy hooking, stitching, quilting, or whatever floats your boat.
