New Rug

 Okay, so not so new. I've had this pattern for two, maybe three years now. It is Warm Friendship, drawn up by Red Barn Rugs. I wanted it to have more lines and squiggles than as drawn, so I added in some.



I find starting a new rug the most difficult part. I want it to turn out like what is in my mind. I know, scary, right? Often I'm just winging it and deciding colors as I go. I do have a picture of this one and I'll use it as a guide. 









I went through my worms. I think I have enough  (and then some) to do all but the dark brown around the words. 



My helpers for the day, Henry and Daisy. 

Have a good day, Sue

  1. That is a perfect design for using worms. And it is those odd colors which sometimes gives the rug that special spark. Have fun.

  3. Great helpers you have there. I hate starting a new rug. Once I get going it makes my hooking go faster. Your new rug looks awesome! Janice

  4. You have the cutest helpers!!!
    I absolutely LOVE that pattern but am not brave enough to tackle it. I almost started it in one of my classes with Cathy, but chickened out. I am sure you will do it justice.
    BTW...I recognize that tote your worms are in ;-)
