Update on Red Lion

Doesn't seem I'm making much progress on anything.  I worked this morning sewing the binding tape on the Goode witch and then pulling a few loops on Red Lion.  

Here is what Red Lion looks like now.  It is smallish at 17 x 24 so am disappointed in myself.  

Tomorrow morning over coffee will do more binding on the good witch as I really want it on my harvest table SOON.

Quite a change in the weather...from short sleeves and shorts, to long sleeves and sweat pants.

Happy Saturday evening to you all.

LOOPS

Finally am pulling a few loops; not a lot but it feels good to have the hook in the hand again.

Took a picture of the wool I've chosen to hook my lion (of course that is always subject to change as you know) and even took a picture of the wool.  But the flash made the wool look SO BRIGHT that I chose not to influence your thought on the wool choices yet.  Maybe next post will show you that shocking photo.  

While at Cape May I purchased the Red Lion pattern from Norma Batastini of Heart in Hand Rughooking.  As it is an antique could easily have drawn it out myself, but hey, it was already done for me so why not buy it there ~ no muss no fuss.

The Be Goode Witch has been prepped for binding but hasn't been started yet.

Had one last pattern order to draw today (E S Frost Sheep with Birds) and must stay it is quite a challenge to draw a pattern when the two eyes aren't in sync.   But I've another eye surgery coming up soon (don't know when) so the pattern needed to be done.  

Needless to say I took my time drawing.  You sewers  know that old addage "measure twice cut once"?  Well today it was look twice, maybe thrice and use Sharpie once.

Have a great Sunday evening.
