I love it!  The 23rd Psalm Rug or Keiki Carpet is completed.  What a labor of love this was.  I enjoyed every bit of the creation.  Rarely did a smile slip from my face when working of this rug.  I just kept imagining all the little souls who would enjoy sitting on it during the Keiki Sermons at my church.  

I must admit that I also thoroughly enjoy completing tasks.  Having projects unfinished gives me a sense of urgency that I don’t like.  For this reason, I rarely have more that two projects going at the same time.  One large and one small seems to work the best.  A little variety, a bit of a challenge and I’m happy.

Dyeing the yarn to whip the edges is always a treat.  I feel like a magician as I stand at the stove with the white yarn simmering and slowly add tiny bits of dye to create just the right color.  It is rather like cooking and tasting.  Dye - Look - Add some more,  look again.  Occasionally  I may need to come back the next day after drying and over dye.  The end result is always interesting. The green dye on this one was the biggest challenge.  There are three different yarn colors for this rug.

So this is the end of this project .  On to something different and inspiring I hope.  Perhaps a new purse design or a rug full of autumn colors.  We’ll see.
