Swug 7 HARVESTMAN Color Assignment

Original Harvestman Design

Last night I assigned the yarns to rug 7 "Harvestman".



Harvestman Color Assignment

 







I must redo the color assignment as I just noticed a boo-boo. Those are more acorns below the 3 in brown.




Acorn corrected



Five of the yarns need to be unraveled. 

Column Boo-Boo and Swug 7 HARVESTMAN

I goofed! I forgot to remove the mltiple lines from the detail on the black column. So, Curt punched them in all night last night....and now we have to remove them and start over.

Too many lines on the black column

Fewer lines on the grey column

Curt believes he will finish the punching part by this Wed or Thurs eve. I already starting unwinding yarns for rug 7 "Harvestman". This is another design straight from Chantal Paré's free stained glass designs.

We discussed and decided that our old method punching all the outlines first is not efficient. On the "Harvestman" swug, we plan to start in the center or at 1 corner, and fill from there. This way Curt doesn't have to try to move pre-existing lines / yarn out of the way on 2 sides, just 1 side.

I shudder in misery at the thought of hemming another irregular border!
