I'm Gonna Be a Hooker!

A rug hooker, that is! LOL

I was over at Dog Trot Farm visiting with Julie.

She does primitive rug hooking, and I emailed

her to get some information and she sent me to this website

Searsport Rug Hooking

I looked thru the website and found a beginner's

rug hooking kit and bought one.

It came in the mail yesterday.

Contained in the kit was an instruction book, a quilting frame

and a little metal container for the pieces of scraps that

I might have left over when I use the wool strips

to do the rug hooking.

Also, with the kit came the wool strips that I will use to make the rug,

and all of the wool strips are precut. There is some embroidery

thread, and some binding for the edges to finish off the product,

a rug hook, and a drawn pattern on linen. And a carry-all tote.

I picked the pattern, Two Sheep on a Hill.

Here is a photo of what it should look like when I am finished.

I'm not sure when I will start on this. But I wanted to see if I like

rug hooking enough to do some other patterns, along with my

crocheting. I am hoping to get good enough at these two

crafts to be able to sell some at a farmers market

come next season.

When I do start this, I will post some of the steps

from beginning to end, to give ya'll an idea of

where I am with this project.

Thanks for visiting today, and I hope you

have a blessed day. Take care All,

from KY.
