(Zombie) Jack's Crow ~



The hooking is finally done on Jack's Crow.  I think Jack looks like a zombie :)  


I'm not sure how I am going to finish it.  Terri did this fun finish on hers.  It looks like it would be easy and fast to do.


It was suggested I hook my initials in this funky little rectangle.  I tried . . . and I tried . . . and I tried again but it just didn't look right so I gave up :(


The pattern can be found here.

I was scheduled to have a class with Laurie Lausen of Wooly Red Rug at the end of September through a guild I belong to.  No surprise that it has been cancelled.

Well, "old blogger" came up so this post is being done with it.  I need to figure out where "new blogger" went . . . sigh.

Thanks so much for stopping by. 
Pug hugs :)

    I like your Jack. Think I might have to do this one too. I do like the finishing idea! I am a sucker for Fall themed projects.

    Love your jack, funny how no matter what the design looks like, each of us do a slight change and it becomes our own, especially on faces. I went back to old, the new one has too many confusing things on the pages.

    Eye centers are way too bright.
    Remember to not let anything "bullseye" on a rug no matter the design. The eye must travel around like visualizing the "s" curve.
    Try some old gold and see how it changes the effect. Otherwise its a great little mat and excellent hooking techniwue. Also white, blue and black are very difficult to put into a rug.
    You might want to change his shirt...but the "eyes" are the real culprit.
    Good luck!

    great joke! I like jack I did buy him and couple of others from her. I hate the new blogger maybe they were trying to fix the issues.

    I love him!! That finish would be perfect but I'd use black and as always, great great background. Too bad this isn't charted for cross stitch.

    Love that little mat. I think maybe Jack is afraid he is going to be infected by covid since he has no mask.

    Well keep posting those jokes. I just laugh and enjoy making fun of the situation we find ourselves. I think Jack is wonderful. I don't think he looks like a zombie. Its a very cute rug though. I am so sorry another hook in was cancelled. I really wish I could hook like you. I hope you have a great day.
