Since most of my normal, weekly responsibilities are on hiatus because it’s Thanksgiving week, I was able to putter around in the studio last night. I was glad for the time as I am under the deadline on a new project.
It has to be done by December 1. Unfortunately, this is all I can show at the moment – can’t say who it is for or where it is going as, after all, it is that time of year! However, I will, eventually, report with a much more complete photo.
However, just because I was hooking, that does not mean I can’t multi-task and do two things at once.
My 2nd thought process was centering on this tub of left over worms from Big Momma.
As well as this tub of odd shaped uncut pieces … also left over from Big Momma. Since my leftovers from one rug often end up going into the next rug, the subject of that next rug was what I was thinking about as I hooked on Monday night. While I did not get my hooking project done (did make a lot of progress, which I can’t show) I did work out that next design. Since it’s not drawn yet, I can’t show that either. Still, I want to report that I was working … and will, eventually, have something to show for it.

That is alot of worms—but colorful. Dreary and raining here, so color is needed– at least it is not snow! LC

LC – Unfortunately, it is one of several similar tubs in my studio. While I do use a lot of the worms up, I can’t seem to get them all gone … or, perhaps they multiply when no one is looking? GRS

Hi, I love the way you have hooked one row slanted in one direction and the next row slanted to form a sort of chevron and they lay together like stair steps…………I am guessing you have used an #8 cut. I am sure the next project will be worth waiting for…….. V. Sharmay

Arline – Yes, it’s a #8.

Gene,
Your chevrons and worms are interesting but I can’t get my mind off of your shirt stalking. Ten years…
I wonder if I had been in your shoes if I might not have hurried things along by spilling something like coffee or tea…

Phyllis … Hummmmm, just think of all the possibilities! I shall start carrying a mug of strong tea around with me. GRS

OK Gene, how do you store the odd pieces that you aren’t using in the next rug? Worms I can handle but those other strange sizes are driving me crazy! I’m in the process of moving my studio and it is chaos.

Well, I would say some great things about this post, but “I can’t talk about it”. Jo:)
