Doldrums on Blue Bowl

Once upon a time I was super excited to hook this antique adaptation.  The old rug has haunted me for a few years now and recently decided to draw it big.  Why?  

First thought was I could put this aside and work on smaller stuff when I get a bug up.... and it was fun until starting to hook the soft flower and leaf colors.  Then all of a sudden it didn't look like the antique nor my expectations of what my wool would do.  

Perhaps that is because it is a big rug for me and I'm working too close.  The bowl is huge ~ or at least to me it is yet the bowl was the fun part.  This rug measures 30 x 41.   Below is a picture of the original antique.

Tomorrow I'll post the latest updates on the Granny Hook-along rugs and tease you with the next group hook-along.  It will be an easy fun project for new hookers and perhaps this is why I'm antsy, maybe I'm ready to play in the wool box again and sit this big one aside. 

If you know any newbie hookers this next one will be a perfect beginner project.  Will also give you experienced hookers a challenge too.  Can't wait to share it.

Happy hooking.
