i thought i had finished the mat yesterday but something's missing. there isn't enough "dialogue" between the border and the inside. so today i'm going to pull out the centres of the florets and add orange circles. i think that should do it...yesterday afternoon barb hosted our monthly craft group at her home. tea and sweets and a lovely wood fire.
at these gatherings we bring new work or work in progress. some of us have the advantage of being able to work as we participate. i finished knitting a scarf. rilla brought along some woven scarves and with a neat little "fringe twister" finished off the fringe (she'll take the scarves home and felt them). 
urve has been working on a major glass piece. it will be 100 glass salmon on stands "swimming" upstream. here is a flat salmon before urve "shapes" it into a swimming pose. (in newfoundland there is a foolish tradition for tourists having to "kiss the cod"...)

The rug's lovely... I can't wait to see the finished product with the orange bits added. I hope you are going to post a pic of the back once you have bound the edges.
Wow - the mat is gorgeous - with the orange circles, it's going to be stunning! (Admiring your kitty cat, too, she's a beauty!) And what a fun group that sounds like...
