SHEEP UPDATE

Okay Lauren, here is the progress on "Sheepie" as you call it.  This unfinished rug was started early November and is becoming as notorious to me as the 'forever floral'.

Right now there is still a ripple in the middle and around the sheep.  That is due to the sheep being hooked at camp and subsequently ripped out and re-hooked.  I tried rubbing the linen to settle it down and eliminate the holes made from previous wool strips, but fact is foundation does stretch.  Am hoping once steamed all will lay flat the rug finished without a bulge or rippling.

I'm not happy with my grey curved area to the left of the sheep but the original antique had a shape like that.  Am also not happy with that snake section hooked in the bottom border either.  But figured the dark was better than the light.  Oh, and I don't like all the light background around sheep.  Okay, let's just say I'm not happy with it at the moment.  Could be I just want the dang thing DONE.

For reference, here is the original antique rug below.

Rain and strong winds to begin around noon today and latest prediction is anywhere from ANOTHER  1 1/2 - 4" of rain.
