Edyth O'Neill Pattern

I'm a fan of  Edyth O'Neill's. 

I love her antiques, western jewelry, and her rug patterns.

Discovering her through her book, Rugs for My Red Cape, I decided at once I needed to hook one of her patterns.

 Only I didn't.

Year passed. 

Edyth lost her red cape to a fire and her husband Jack passed away. 

She moved into a much smaller 

apartment which she decorated in her wonderful style and which was featured in Early American Life magazine.

And I found her blog.

So she was once again on my radar. 

Then I happened to pick up a hooking book from our library which featured

 a free pattern of her "Pomegranates."

Being the Math whiz that I am, I ordered our local copy shop to print it way too big. 

But it also happened to be exactly the size of a piece of linen I had. 

Artist Bob Ross would have called this a "happy little accident."

I hooked up the rug which is close to 3 X 5 ft and it fit perfectly at the foot of our bed.

Hooked in as-is wools, #8

I was going through a difficult time when I hooked this, but strangely this rug makes me feel happy.

Well, I guess we're prepared as we can get for this coming storm.

The local authorities have asked everyone to stay off the roads tomorrow.

I got the newest ATHA yesterday so I have reading material!!!

If you're in the path of this lulu be safe!
