RUG-IN-HIDING UPDATE

Yesssss!  I finally got to start working on the rug.  I am letting all that luscious beautifully dyed yarn slide through my fingers as I punch (there I go, complimenting myself on what a great job I did with the dyeing...but you know what?  I did!), and feeling very excited to finally get this underway. 

I'm amazed at how much I got done yesterday.  Unfortunately, because I cannot show this rug until fall of 2015, I can only put up a picture of a tiny fraction of what's hooked or I'll give the pattern and theme away.  (to see why it's a rug-in-hiding, go to this post)

So here's a little bit of how it looks, enough so that the background shows.

That's actually the back of the rug, not the front, as I am punching it so I am working on the back.

The fun has begun; I've already had to adjust a number of things, so creative license is in full swing--flowing, and I am loving it.  Given that I felt this whole project was a burden from the instant I said yes, I am now beginning to see and experience the gifts it could bring me--whether or not anyone else ever likes the rug.

Oh, I just love that background.  And to think that I created it.  What fun.
