What's on my frame? The answer is an adaptation of an antique runner.
I am crazy in love with the colors of the original, so I have tried to work up the same color plan. Yowza! Nothing is better to me than the turquoise blue and coral colors! As you can see, I only have one small corner portion to finish up and then I will be moving on to the border. The wide hit-and-miss border will pull all the colors from the main design out to the edges...plus I will be adding just a few other soft old colors and a bit more brown out there too.
I started this rug at the beginning of the year and have put it aside several times to work on some smaller projects. I find that this is one of those rugs that practically hooks itself and when I am not working on it, it calls to me to sit down and pull up a few loops. Have you ever had a rug do that to you?
It's quite a long runner...I had to stand on my sofa to get both ends in the picture!
I'll be adding this pattern to my pattern line once it is completed. It's a very fun design to hook!
