January 2025 Third Thursday with Lisanne--Time to get reacquainted with our rugs!

New Year and time to pull out the projects you put away and get re-acquainted with them and your color palette.
Lisanne explains how to do this as well as making your hooking match and a few tools!

Oh my, I just stumbled across your video. I have totes full of will, patterns, tools,cutters and who knows what else. I had two aunts who made hooked rugs for years. They dyed and cut their own wool. One aunt designed all the patterns. They were old farm girls and during the long dark winter nights they would sit and hook. They made the most beautiful rugs, and I am lucky enough to have two. Unfortunately I never had a chance to sit and learn from they but I do have all the supplies. One day I will find a place to maybe take a lesson or two.

It is wonderful that you have the supplies from your aunts to begin your rug hooking journey! If you are near Maine, we do offer classes

Your santa is one of the prettiest hooks I have seen. Just love the dimension on it.

Thank you!

Great video. I love rug hooking and have dabbled with it many years ago. I am very envious of the supplies for rug hooking in the U.S. as here in the U.K. it isn't such a popular craft and supplies are limited. I may try to do a doodle rug on a small scale and try to get back into it. Many thanks for sharing your video and I love your big Santa.

Many thanks! Have fun with alternative fibers like yarns and wool clothing!
