Finished Hooking Mug Rug

It still needs to be pressed, blocked and have the edges/back done, but I finished hooking the mug rug this afternoon, right before heading out to work.

The plaids around the outside edge and inside the heart are recycled wool shirts and the golden colour and the darker blue are hand-dyed wool (by someone other than me).  I had originally planned to hook the outer plaid all the way in to the yellow, but it was really thready and driving me bonkers.  It's a shame, because I really liked the way it looked hooked up, but I'll save the rest of it for something else.

I have a few things in mind regarding my next large hooking project, but first I want to try a little experiment using a punch needle.  I haven't tried doing very much punch-needle work, but I'd like to get better at it so I can make some miniature rugs.
