Have accomplished a little more on Spike but he's still not done. Spent time in the wool room looking at the next pattern for my frame. Yeah, I know.... should have spent that time working on Spike instead.
For reference, below is a photo of the original antique. My rendition isn't even close to a mirror image of the antique. That's okay, as she used different wool or homespun's than me and I'm trying to keep this an uncomplicated project as a sample for the pattern.
Saturday it rained all day, yesterday it rained and the temperature reached a high of 69 degrees. Rain again today and 3 pm the temps were 44 degrees. Delaware has 'Forest Gump weather' as you ....."never know what you're gonna get".
Happy Monday.

I love replicating antique adaptation rugs but also design my own. Looking at old rugs in Early American Life magazine was my inspiration to learn to hook.

Rug Updates
Spike is still a work in progress and as small as he is (14 x 20) you'd think I'd be done by now. In all honesty I don't hook all day but am guilty of wasting time doing heavens knows what.
When I was an 8-5 Admin Asst my house was cleaner and prioritized my time better. Oh, but also wasn't a rug hooker then either. HA, now retired I just sorta do what I want whenever. There's much more dust on my table tops but am enjoying life a lot.
Will work on Spike again tomorrow but this evening will begin binding Magdalena Goat ~ the smaller size. You'll have to wait and see if I changed the feet or not when a final picture is posted.
Have a great evening.
