The Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of May 12, 2025

It’s a very good thing I purchased all my yarns ahead of time for this latch hook rug project.

And I shall explain.

First, a recap. Here’s the left panel of what will be a three-panel rug.

And I’m currently working on the right panel, and here’s where I was the last time I blogged about the project.

As I mentioned in the previous blog post, by ordering all my yarn for this project ahead of time, I’ve basically guaranteed I can finish this rug without dealing with Trumpflation or tariffs or supply chain issues. It also guarantees that I can work on this in my idle time. Whatever “idle time” actually means. Ha.

Well, I did get a burst of “idle time” going, and take a lookie at how far I got on this.

So what you see here is not only the road and the curb … but you also see the right side of the fence. All the little pickets in the fence. Sweet.

And I have to mention this. Working on this rug is a calming technique for me. If I have to keep dealing with the craziness in the world today, at least I can insulate myself by working on this, so that every time I view it in progress, it’s another step towards peace and relaxation. Working on this rug keeps my blood pressure from hitting TILT.

And trust me, when we’re dealing with Trump and Musk and Kennedy Jr and all the other knuckleheads …

I’ll take this any day of the week.
