Rug Hooking

I’ve made a several hooked rugs.  In fact, I hooked up my SIL’s  rug kit for her and she gave me her rug hooking hoop.  A great trade since she discovered she didn’t like rug hooking and I do!  I have two rug kits that have been aging in my closet for several years so (see date in picture below) when the mood finally struck me last month, I pulled one out and got started.  I’d forgotten how much I enjoy hooking.  Here’s my progress so far:

I was browsing on the web and saw some tutorials on hooked rugs.  I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before, but many people use their rotary cutter to cut their wool into strips.  I have a cutter but the blades I have are for much narrower strips and I like the look of wider strips but didn’t want to pay the cost of  new blades.  I have accumulated some wool so I’ll have to experiment a little :)
