We always manage to have a good time at the hook-ins. Good company, tall tales and lots of laughs. It's always a pleasure to see rugs progress. Charlene is working on her next stained glass piece and unfortunately I snapped a wonderful closeup shot of her hair, you can count the strands, but the rug is blurry. I'll get it next time! She was in the shop on Saturday to experiment with a Jacquard dye and it turned out perfectly. Dyeing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you might get....and this time it was a touchdown!
Sue dropped in to show us the progress of her Five Star Runner, a new design we whipped up on Friday. She said, if you design it I'll start hooking it tonight and them is challenge words! So we got busy and drew lines until I couldn't see straight. I was in a funny mood that day with very low energy and was torn between napping on the toilet tank top or sitting and hooking so this got me out of my funk and all juiced up creatively. I think this is going to be a popular pattern as it satisfies a primitive preference; a simple design with a bold statement.
Honey sure loves Sue and snuggled close for a few kisses. I think the feeling is mutual! I didn't hook last evening. The pups had to go to the groomer this morning so I spent the time combing knots out of their hair and chatting with the group. It was more comfortable brushing them in air conditioned comfort than at home with my broken heat pump. They have a much happier time if momma does it. Going to the groomer is stressful enough! I hooked a bit at home before going to bed.

| My "F is taking a bit longer because I'm hooking it all in a #6. There is a lot of detail to work around. If anyone would like the animal print behind any letter of the alphabet we can do that....as well as the Zebra strips I used behind the Z. Working in Black and Grey tones is challenging but fun and really quite dramatic. If pressed to say which one I like the best I'd hum and haw.....each one brings something different to the table. I can't believe I am over half way through the alphabet! This is #16. |  |
