Update 1868

 And I picked . ... #3

I really thought I would go with those greyish blue worms. And I tried them. They did nothing for the rug. There was not enough contrast. I thought the two blues would be too bright. But #3 looks great. And then I just kept hooking and hooking until my wrist said    " no more". 

I hooked the blue, and on to the roses. I've also got 3 out of the 4 roses in the border done also. Have you ever had a rug that is just so fun to hook? I've truly enjoyed this one. 

Next I'll do the vining leaves and roses on the inside of the border. But no hooking yesterday, today, or tomorrow. The grands did not have school yesterday or today. It's still really cold outside. They don't want the kids out in the cold while waiting for the bus to arrive. We can't see the stop from the house, so we must be there, waiting. Luckily if they do miss the bus I live off of a dead end street so the bus has to turn around and pass us again. 

Have a great Thursday. Sue
