Ran across this photo in my flickr photostream where you can see more of original pattern.

Welcome Rug Update

This is a perfect example of what not to do.


#1 - Have a plan in place before you begin. (All I knew for sure was I didn't like some things about this rug).


#2 - Work from the center out, not the other way around. (Um... the photo speaks for itself).


I'll explain myself--I worked the elements I was sure about first--it's not my fault they were all on the outside! I do know where I am going with this despite all visible signs to the contrary.

 

I also encountered problems with the upper corners.  After I had them hooked, they didn't appear symmetrical so I have redrawn them and I'm going to make another attempt.  Wish me luck!
