I'm going in....


Morning, friends and fellow hookers. I have had this rug on my list to hook for a long time. I mustered a bit of nerve and yesterday pulled some loops.

This is Karen Kahle's "Flowerbox"...the large one.


It's a big one!


Very big! 52x40 big!

I plan on doing a little bit every day. Wish me luck! I'll post my progress.

************************


If you have been here before, you know I come from a long line of "never throw anything outers".

This is Annie in one of her favorite tees. I bought this shirt on a trip to Boston...in 1993. It was more like a nightgown on her when I brought it home, but became a favorite right then and there. She grew into it...it's still a big favorite.

Gotta go pull some loops!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

  2. Nice big project that beautiful pattern. It kinds of reminds me of the last rug I designed and hooked for a challenge of using mostly spare worms. I had little houses going around and trees in the corners. It was a fun rug to do.

    Sweet Annie looks beautiful in that red t-shirt. It still looks like new.... I love teddy Bears too.

    Good luck with pulling hoops every day.
    Hugs, Julia

  10. That is a big rug! I'm looking forward to watching your progress. Good on you for not throwing things out! We are that way too -- but I think we are too extreme. More like pack rats. lol!

  12. I hooked the smaller version of Flowerbox, yours is big. It will be beautiful when done. I have my favorite tee shirts too and some may be older than hers.

    Also love that blue polka dot bird

  13. That pattern looks wonderful and challenging. I dragged out some wool, cut some strips and tried getting back into it but I became frustrated quickly. So I set is aside-it is still on my table, mocking me but I will try again on a different day. Maybe :D
