The pattern Early Farm Scene is all hooked and have already started binding it. Yeah, that's a first....to start binding as soon as the hooking and steaming is done. But I felt naked ~ there was no pattern ready on my frame to hook. Couldn't make up my mind since I've patterns in my stash and some needing to be drawn yet teasing me to hook them. Anyway.......
As for Early Farm Scene.....want to know how many voted on which color? RED had 7 votes. PURPLE also had 7 votes but one vote doesn't show up in the comment section because it was a personal email. And there were 2 votes to BOTH.
Wondering which color I chose? The purple won out for a few reasons: the purple was same density/intensity/value in the circle other than the points which were darker. There was plenty of other red spread throughout the design but still another hint of purple at the bottom right flower.
BTW, this wasn't a test as it was a question I had for myself during the hooking of the rug. Wasn't sure which color to go with even tho the purple was hooked first, but when it was done and saw the rug completed I knew the answer. So that is why teachers have told me to "not pull out loops until you are further along".
My next blog post will be about the 'outline and fill' concept. There really is more than one way to do that.
Happy Weekend and Happy Hooking.

You know I'm always finding something else to tweak and this rug has been no exception. Getting down to the nitty gritty thought I'd take a serious look at my purple choice in the rug.
Early on hooking this rug wanted to use my worms so pulled out the purple. Then, as hooking progressed questioned my use of purple and thought it should be red.
So which do you vote for ~ the already hooked Purple .....
....or replace with Red?
There's still the bottom right quadrant to hook yet until I finally decide. But at least I've these two photos to ponder as I do that.
