By the Sea -- in progress!

I've begun work on the rug pattern I purchased from Karla Gerard called "By the Sea." I had it enlarged at Kinko's and got started right away! This rug has such fun elements in it, I couldn't wait.

Originally, I thought I'd choose a color palette of five or six colors and work from there with different values and shades. But, soon I realized that I wanted to put all kinds of colors in it!

So, here is my progress so far:

Also, I hope you will check out my wool and pattern auctions at Etsy and Ebay. Lots of colors and binding tape, too! Links are on the side of my blog.

Happy hooking!
