Done, Done, and a New Goal

The cat pillow is completely hooked.

The 13" x 15" hand-knotted rug is off the loom.

And new warp yarn is being spun. To keep the tension consistent throughout the weaving, I am going to have to spin a much stiffer yarn, probably by running each element through the spinning wheel twice. See example of correctly spun warp, below.
