Last week I worked on the red and black scrappy rug, which I am traditionally hooking with wool strips. This week it's back to the punched rug for a bit, using yarn that I dyed by hand. Back and forth. Get stuck on one, work on the other. Get tired of that one, work on the first again. I was stuck on this Moon Runner rug, gave it about ten days off, and now, after much pulling-out and re-punching, here it is today: I'm very much in experimental mode here. I ripped out all three clouds and re-punched them yesterday and today...I know that before I make any decisions about whether this is working or not, I need to fill in a lot more. Right underneath this is another moon, and another small cloud--I will see how it looks after I get those two motifs punched, along with much more background. By the time I get all that done (and that won't even be half the rug!) I think I'll be able to tell what's working and what isn't. That's the working theory, anyway! Trial and error...trial and error...
