Off the Loom!

I just had to share this photo--that's what a blog is for, right?--because I'm happy this rug is done before Mom's birthday.
  No, Mom, it won't be a surprise, but I hope you'll enjoy it, just the same.  It's heavy and luscious and just the right colors.  I had a blast making it, and now all that's left is hemming and boxing it up and sending it on its merry way.
  Jennifer's patiently waiting for her next rug, and I'm dreaming of the one after that.  Maybe something to go next to the bed, to greet me with its absurd fluffiness each morning...
