My good friend and hooking buddy Nelda, asked me to design her a pattern for a camp she is going to next month.She had a picture of a shirt that she liked and it had paisley all over it.She wanted it 30 ins.by 60ins. which is the biggest rug I have designed so far.She also hooks in a 9 cut most of the time.
Well, two days and 4sharpies later I have a pattern that I hope she will like it.I know she will not be able to do all the little designs with a 9 cut but I wanted to make it so someone working in a smaller cut would have details to work on.
As I was working on this design I have started thinking of how I would do it.I have not ever hooked a rug this big but I think I will start color planning it so I can.
Here is Nelda hooking out-of-her box, she is using a 3 cut.

When I first started, I had cut and they were like strings, lol. Now I usually use a 7 or 8, but has been harder to hook large cuts these days.

Vicki,
That is one awesome pattern! Can't wait to see what Nelda does with it!
What a cool pattern! Love it!
Thanks all.Debbie,a fine hooking would be at this rug forever.I think I will try it with 8 and 8 1/2.
Tammy, I too can't wait to see what Nelda does with it.
I LOVE paisley of any kind and this design is great! I have a smallish paisley rug that I hooked years ago and would like to do another one some day!
Wow, I really like your design. Keep us updated on the progress.
