My first blog post with Askew was on March 6 and at that time I had 8 circles hooked. I really hoped to be done by now, but progress has been very slow the last couple of weeks. I am so tired of hooking it. I have to force myself to pick up the hook. It doesn't help that yard work season has begun, although my heart isn't in that either. So far I have only used my worms, but I am running low on dark ones. You know, blackish, dark gray and black. I still have lots of browns, but since there are blacks in all the stripes already hooked, I need to continue to incorporate those. Sadly, I now need to cut some strips.
Here is what is left of the "dark" worms . . . and most are not very dark.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

While I am overwhelmed with the thought of your schedule (Girl, is retirement supposed to be this hectic??), I am impressed with your progress on Askew. Not even 2 months and you're almost done with what is a ginormous rug to me??? I feel woefully inadequate on all accounts - busyness, accomplishments, adventures, you name it. I'd do the "L" thing with my fingers on my forehead except I mess that up too. Seriously. I'll never forget how hard my son laughed the first time he saw me do it. :-( ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteAskew is looking great and particularly LOVE that wobbly primitive border!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm exhausted reading your schedule too.
That rug is looking great. It has a feeling of quietness and peace and the colors are easy on the eyes. You're always so busy in every direction. I'm trimming down my activities and lately, I only do what is necessary, otherwise, I'd get overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even started any seedlings yet. By now I usually have lots of plants started.
Have a fun week.
Hugs, Julia
Enjoy your beach time, Charleston is a beautiful city
