Wildwood

I started hooking a new design that I've named Wildwood.

This pattern is loaded with flowers and for those of you who get bored with a lot of background...this has very little.

A close up of the first flower...

And a peek at the wools in the yellow-gold flower along with the background wool.

The darkest gold on the right is the gold in the middle of the petals, the palest gold 3rd form the right is the outline of each petal.

I'm hooking on Dorr's primitive natural linen using a #6 cut.

I love hooking on this backing, I've been using monk's cloth but I think I'll be using this backing from now on.

And of course my color planner...she helps me every step of the way!

I'll keep posting pictures of the rug and wool as I go along....thanks for stopping!

(pattern will be available on my website soon)

Daisy Basket Hooked Rug...Finished!!!

It's finished!!!

I like how it turned out. 

You can see the wools I used here. The size is 9" x 17".

(The pattern is available for sale on my website)

Now I'm off to draw up the next rug...I'm in the mood to hook colorful flowers...wishing for spring to arrive sooner rather than later!

 I'll post it as I go along including the wools I use.

The next rug is a new design I just drew up and it's a bit larger (24" x 36")...I can't wait to get started but first I think I'll need to dye a little wool....maybe I can post a little bit of dying as I go along too.

Thanks for stopping!
