I finally finished the Sharon Smith design called The Readers. Just a fun rug for my 8 month old GREAT grand baby.
I am posting a detail of the dog's head. I made it very fluffy by pulling the loops high, clipping them and actually combing the hooked and clipped loops with a dog brush. Essentially this just removes the weft threads, giving the warp a very shaggy appearance. I only used that technique on the head. He has black button eyes. You can see some of the clipped loops were not brushed and others were. Once this was completed I trimmed the shape of the dogs head a bit. You can see how fuzzy this look is in the detail shot.
