I took rug hooking lessons in Halifax and discovered Christine and Encompassing Designs two years ago. With her many designs it was so easy to get ‘hooked on hooking’.....Christine is always available for questions and hints.....I have done two Christmas socks for my grand-kids, a flower piece for my friend and chose this fish design for my own dining room table...I love the ocean and all that it offers so this pattern was a great choice. I sit and watch TV, avoid snacking and two weeks later its done...already plans for another before I walk out her door......Carol
Sorry, the pictures came in so small that they're blurry when enlarged. But the overall appeal shines through and the colour choices are very fluid. The pattern certainly makes for a lovely table runner with the repeat pattern showing well from either side. This design is actually a Tessellation which means a repeat motif and we are holding a workshop on this on November 2nd. Click on the Workshops link on the website for details.
I'm adding a couple of versions of the pattern below to show more detail. This is a Susan Leslie design and can be viewed by clicking the link and I am making it the new pattern of the week:
