Mr. Chill

 I packed away Mr. Turkey and ordered a Christmas rug pattern.

 While I am waiting for it I decided to kit up Mr Chill. He is for January. He was the first pattern I ever bought. In fact he was the reason I wanted to take up rug hooking in the first place. Isn't he just adorable?

 He's been languishing because he is a paper pattern and it's a process to get him onto the material.

 I am using this. I have had it for ages too.

 You have to transfer the paper pattern to nylon net and then transfer it onto the burlap. It's not hard. It just means digging out a lot of stuff and I'm kind of lazy that way.

Now that he is done I have to cut up the strips. This part I like- although my wool stash is getting mighty small especially in the lighter colors I need for snow. Etsy here I come.
