As you may have heard, I’m in the middle of making another latch hook rug. Last fall, I took a photo of the Woodstock, Vermont Middle Covered Bridge, and converted it into a latch hook rug pattern with the help of the online leftsource.com site.
And this time, instead of purchasing the yarns bit by bit, I ordered everything – yarns, canvas, hooks – all at once, so there would be no delay in completion.
As of my last post on this topic three weeks ago, I’ve achieved this much completion in my work.
Because, honestly, the more I focus on this project, the less I need to focus on what’s currently happening in our nation today. With my new-to-me Pentacon Six TL in the repair shop so that my camera tech can give it a good tune-up … and the weather outside is colder than a pawnbroker’s heart … and the Orange Goblin is – yeah, I can’t even say it right now without retching – …
This latch hook rug project may be my only salvation for sanity at this point in time.
So let’s see how far I’ve gotten today.
So there’s definitely more picket fence here, which is good. And you can clearly see the red tree in the background, which I appreciate.
The white curb is more defined, and I think the more I work on this, the calmer I will be.
See, sometimes art doesn’t have to involve a goal of entering it in a competition or selling it to an admirer.
Sometimes art projects like this are a way to calm myself from all the chilly chaos in the world.
And I’m good with that.

Looking forward to the finished product – lots of color and contrast in the photo.
I’m still wowed by the reflection you captured in your Mike’s / NEBA project.
