Hopefully, I can squeeze in some hooking time on this rainy drizzly day! For once, I have nothing looming large in my schedule ~ just day to day chores ~ it feels GREAT!!!!!
I've noticed that I have a couple of new followers ~ I appreciate each one of you that stop by to check in and love it when you take the time to comment ~ thank you and come back soon!!

Alice,
Thanks for sharing the rooster rug. What are you planning for the background?
A loyal fan from Florida!
Dear Loyal Fan aka Trisha!! The upper left corner is kind of dark in the photo but you can kind of see where I'm headed. It's a variety of neutrals ~ 4 or 5 ~ with colored strips from the strip basket hooked in on the lines. I'll do those in a narrow cut just to give it some pop of color and the background will be hooked in a 9.5 cut. Actually, a lot of the roosters is a 9.5 ~ you can cover a lot of ground pretty quick with that wide cut. I did cut a couple of strips in a 10 but that was a bit too wide ~ even for me!!
Lucky you for the hooking hours - I am so jealous. I only seem to be able to squeeze in minutes here and there.
The knitting goes well because of the car time, but the hooking - not so much. I clicked on your fine roosters and blew them up for a good look. They are very handsome and the colour shows up on the larger pics. Looking forward to seeing them done. Good luck during the drizzle.

When you enlarge the pic, you can see the sparkles. So you!
Lookin' good.
Pug hugs :)

Gorgeous roosters Alice! I love the darks..... and rooster rugs are always a favorite of mine. I did one and put it on the floor in the kitchen (and now wish I hadn't)... it's really taken a beating. You inspire me to give another one a try...
