Just a quickie to let you know my hit 'n miss is DONE!!! The hooking that is. I trimmed the linen and zig zagged the edges today. (Note to self . . . on a big rug, do this before hooking!!!). Next up is steaming which I like about as much as I like binding. I guess they are the necessary evils of a rug hooker. The finished size is 30 1/2" x 48 1/2", my largest rug to date.
Sadly I have nothing planned to put on the frame. I have plenty to choose from, but nothing is screaming at me to hook it.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Wowzer woman, that is one big honking rug. Yeah, gonna be a bear to manipulate that sucker around the sewing machine for sure.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you're going thru with not having anything calling you to hook it. Fortunately there's something lined up for me but need the right color background and today's dye job didn't work.
That is a superb rug! And a biggie. I like your colour combos. Has it put barely a dent in your wool pile?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations... Your big rug looks fantastic. Do you have a spot ready for it? I know that you'll have that baby whipped in no time. A good rainy day project when it feels good to be inside.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
It looks beautiful! I had no idea it was so big!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of storms, I hear we are in for more snow. UGH Great rug! Janice
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always and a great way to use up your worms

It came out beautifully, always a fun rug to do when we have a lot of scraps.

You are amazing. What a great rug
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a nice big rug! Yes, it would have definitely been easier to do the zig zag before hooking. Anyway, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWAHOO!!! HOW WONDERFUL - GOOD FOR YOU! Pat yourself on the back and let's get the binding done so you can enjoy it on the floor or wall or wherever!!! Maybe you need to go shopping for something new to pop out at you to inspire the next hook piece?
ReplyDeleteWhat a Beautiful Big Rug !!!! You need to do the Happy Dance for getting that done so quickly !!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the Hit or Miss. I am sure your worm bin shrunk considerably🤣🤣 It seems I always choose big rugs....and declare that I won’t do that again. Right. At least you have your xstitch to work on until something else calls you.
ReplyDeleteWow, love your hit & miss rug! Congratulations on finishing the hooking! Now on to finished finished!!👏👏❤️
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rug! I think I like binding better than the steaming.... the wet sheep smell ain't me favorite scent.... lol!
ReplyDeleteThe rug looks great! Give yourself a day to choose the next project--sometimes a break between projects is a good thing
ReplyDeleteIt turned out fantastic!! It looks so nice! I think I have had the hardest time picking something to hook. I think its because I would rather be outside.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
