This week's recap is a bit early, since I'm heading out early tomorrow morning and won't get another chance to hook again until it's 'next' week. Despite the short week, I'm pretty happy with my progress and hopeful that I can finish off this end on the weekend that I return - right at the beginning of March.
I read the funniest thing on someone's blog the other day - I'm still chuckling about it a few days later. I can't remember where it was, but basically the blogger had been crocheting a huge (and gloriously colourful) afghan for the past couple of months, and blogging the process. One night she mentioned to her husband how she couldn't wait to be finished, and he replied, "I bet your readers can't wait either." I can relate - and I'm sure you can, too....so my apologies for all of the Jumbo talk over the last couple of years. It will soon be over - I promise (or I will die trying....) - and I, for one, am so looking forward to starting (and sharing!) some new and different projects soon. Oh, so soon.....just 12.125 square feet from now! :-D
P.S. I had grandiose plans of pre-writing a few blog posts or at least taking a bunch of pictures for more of my 'knit parade', but alas just never seemed to make the time (and hooked instead). I will try to blog a bit from the road, even if it's just to post a picture of something interesting I happen upon in my travels....but I expect things will probably be a little quiet around here for the next week or so. Back soon...
Looks like you are getting so close to finishing! I've enjoyed watching your progress, as I've also been working on a big rug, however, not nearly as big as yours....mine has taken about a year. I'm hooking the last of it today and hope to have it bound by the weekend. I think it's good for other hookers to see just how long it takes to hook something that large.
ReplyDeleteNot many hookers tackle projects on a large scale.
Jen, your rug will be so happy for your return and so will I. I can't wait to see the finish, not that I'm tired of watching the progress but because I'm know the feeling of getting close to the end of a big project. Job well done so far. Have a safe trip. JB
ReplyDeleteHere's to the home stretch! Beautiful Rug Jen!
ReplyDeleteI for one have enjoyed the progress of Jumbo. I keep thinking that I would make a large rug someday and what you have shared will make my attempt somewhat easier. I know this has been a lengthy project but you are almost done the hooking. Can't wait to see how you decided to bind it. ;)
