What's Happening on Saturday

One thing happening today (Saturday the 15th) is the start of the Granny Donaldson hook-along.  Sheila and Elaine are the adventurous ones who are drawing their own version of a Granny inspired mat using favorite motifs.  

Yesterday Sheila sent me a photo of her drawn pattern and designed it with a special meaning in mind.  I'm sure the Angel and heart play a big part and what a wonderful way for her to reenter the joy of rug hooking.

Elaine has chosen her favorite animals and for the artsy part of her mind has drawn the flower off the edge of her pattern.  It always interested me when a person designed a rug with a flower or other motif running over into the border or cut off entirely.    Elaine did say some of her motifs might change in shape as she hooks.  I know how that goes as I've made changes even to purchased patterns to suit myself.

And speaking more about Elaine.....it feels like a continuation of my never-ending birthday because sweet Elaine sent me this package from Canada ~ her handknitted socks and several types of tea.

On this cold Saturday the wool socks will keep me warm as I stay inside and hook on my Granny mat.  And yes, that is one big honking bunion you see on my right foot.

Happy  Saturday and happy hooking.  Its not too late for you to join us you know, if you wanted to review the Granny Donaldson Cow Blanket designs previously posted, click HERE.
