Woman with Baby is almost done

After several meetings at the Senior Center, I finally have the background done. I tested out a border last Thursday.
I think the border needs to be narrower. I thought about trying a wood grain look using the blue and brown, but I am going back to simple. I think I will do two rows of blue and then a few rows of brown. By hooking a section of about 6-8″ you can usually tell what will work. If you are unsure, move to another section of the rug and hook another 6-8″. Don’t rip it out until you have to.
Updated on the Woman with Baby WIP
I need to tweak the background a bit. I think I want more dark in the lower area and around the woman’s face. A simple removal of a partial strip here and there will do it. I find it easier to just get it hooked, and then once it is done, make any adjustments I need.
