So far I'm making a bit of progress on ol' Whiskers. The background color is a muted old looking green.
When I start something I like I can hardly wait to see it finished. Perhaps this won't take so long after all!
Oh someone asked if I have taken lessons on hooking. A friend of mine did show me a bit a couple of years ago but for the most part I've looked in books and just a few weeks ago I bought a couple of dvd's by Gene Shepherd. They really show you step by step.
Well back to pulling a few more loops.
Happy Trails....Ginger
Ginger, It is looking awesome! Love the muted green background. Keep hooking, and just enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGinger your rug is looking great. I love the white pumpkin and the background is wonderful. Enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI dont know of anyone around here who hooks but I may have to find those videos and see if I can figure it out myself I love to try new things and if I can do something as beautiful as yours, I'd love to give it a try. Blessings, Karen
ReplyDeleteWhiskers is looking GREAT! :)
ReplyDeletewhat hook do you recommend for beginners and which dvd woudl you recommend of genes he has 2 beginner ones it seems.I am dying to learn this craft...starting to learn punch needle but really want to learn rug hooking
ReplyDeleteI have tried several hooks. What I am having the most success with is a pencil~type hook. Regarding the dvd's I began with DVD #2 but I had already had a little experience with hooking. Hope this helps.

Looking good! I was just reading about the history of rug hooking this weekend. I find it so fascinating and hope to give it a try someday. Of course, my mom tells me I have enough "hopes" for 2 lifetimes but I think that is a good thing!
