I guess it's official - I'm hooked (and the puns with such a hobby will never end, it's just too easy). I just finished my second hooked rug piece - this one was a kit, Hollyhocks from Etsy seller Harwoodhookedonewe. It was a pleasure to work on this in front of the fire each night, though goodness I do need some better lighting if I'm going to continue hooking. I've resorted to a headlamp, which makes everyone around me laugh. So there's that.
I think I'm ready for a project of my own design, and maybe even perhaps - a rug! Instead of something that ends up on the wall, or as a cat mat, or on the floor of a dollhouse. I think I'm ready. But first up, tomorrow we start shearing, and then I will be swimming in fiber. Oh, and the holiday making must get wrapped up soon, as we are in the thick of another busy Nutcracker season occupying so much of our time. It's such a good thing there is a long winter still ahead - there will be plenty of time for all the things we want to do. Hooking included.
