Hours of hooking

Sitting in my favorite spot

Here’s a great tip that I got from Abby Vakay a few years

ago when I had her as a rug hooking teacher.

When you are working on a certain area of your rug…

say, for me, the tree rings….pin smaller pieces of those

colors on a pin, then you have them at the ready as you

go from one color to the next.

This also works well if you are shading an area, put all

of those related colors together….that way you’re not

constantly having to dig through your pile of wool for the entire

rug to find what you want.
