My version of the ever so popular "Fantasy" pattern by Jane McGowan
Flynn 26"x36" in size 6 and coached by Ingrid Hieronimus at Chantry
School of Rug Hooking Oct 17-19, 2014.
For background, just pull from a bag, alternating direction of squares in same size. I
wanted a look like basket weave almost. It was difficult in that the
lines were added after my leaves were hooked in, so I would say this is
one time where deciding on the background last did add a challenge (line
up those rows).
I dyed my own wool for centre's and added a string of
gold yarn on 3 of the leaves too for effect :) The background was a
suggestion by Ingrid to see how it would work using my (2 1/2 yards dyed
with variations of Ecru, Taupe and Ivory) and pull from a bag,
alternating direction of squares in same size. I wanted a look like
basket weave almost. It was difficult in that the lines were added after
my leaves were hooked in, so I would say this is one time where
deciding on the background last did add a challenge (line up those rows)
Kind of blurry with Bauer sleeping on it - will post new one when i do the whipping! (ugh)
(Completed Hooking Nov 2014 from Chantry Oct 16-18, 2014)
