Slow Hooking ~

Stitchers always talk about the enjoyment of slow stitching.  Well, I've never heard a hooker brag about slow hooking, but that is exactly what I have been doing (and I am not bragging about it!).  I've almost got Proud Lion's body done.  As you may recall, the mane was hooked eight years ago.  I still have the end of his tail to hook and I know the face will be the absolutely last thing I hook.


This just made me LOL!!!


Tomorrow I am off to Sauder Village for a one day visit to rug week.  I hope to have many pictures to share and hopefully I won't find much I can't live without . . . sigh.  I keep telling myself, "NO WOOL", "NO WOOL", "NO WOOL"!!!  Let's see if I listen to that inner voice.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Great transition in colors and movement on the body of the lion. Wish my PC was on so I could see it better but will do that tomorrow morning. Looking forward to the Sauder photos.

I LOVE how you hooked the body!! The wool choices and placement are wonderful...But I got you beat all to heck in the "slow" hooking department. :- Have fun at Sauder! (The Pooh quote is the best!!)

As others have said your hooking on Proud Lion’sbod looks great. And oh how I laughed at Pooh! Guess he has days like that too where you just want to sass someone.

I agree, you did a great job on the Lion's body, transitioning to another color so beautifully.
Slowing down in the hooking department. Heck, I'm not even crawling. Not a single loop to show for.
The heat is dragging me down something terrible.

Here's to more productive days.

Hugs, Julia
