Yesterday I finished transferring the design onto the linen. Started picking the wool colors this morning and was happy to be able to use quite a bit of over dyed wool from my inventory. Tomorrow the dye pots will be steaming. I haven't calculated the amount of wool for the background yet, but I know it's more then a couple of yards. LOL
The plan is to hook the rug with # 8.5 and # 9 strips of wool. Here and there smaller cuts when needed. The motifs are designed for larger cuts.
After I load the pictures here and post the blog I'm starting to hook.

So excited to watch this process! Please keep posting. I'm working on a 24 x 36 and it feels huge to me.
I couldn't help but notice that wine bottles are holding the pattern down. Is that called "foreshadowing"?
Can’t wait to watch the progress of this big Rug.
I can't even imagine hooking a rug that large. I look forward to watching your progress!
I just adore you. I can't wait to see your progress. I know it will be amazing. Hugs.
