My humble wool hutch...
My 'go to' for wool,
for applique
for applique
I like to have everything 'in sight' so I can choose
colors and textures that might work with my project.
As the 'storehouse' of wool increases,
I have been known to 'take over' furniture,
to house my stash of wool !
At the moment...
I am in love with these shades !
(I cannot get enough of the Candy Apple Stripe !)
Rug Hooking
Working on the border around my lamb.
I decided on placing a few honeycomb red circles
around the edge...I marked their placement
with a red 'x', so I don't forget.
Anytime I need to make a correction to my drawn
pattern, I use a red sharpie...if I need to make
further corrections, I will use another color sharpie,
which usually is purple. This helps me to know
which correction / line I should follow to hook.
(Sometimes, my rug can look like a rainbow,
til I'm finished with all of the changes !)

To give my rug hooking background some movement,
I will hook swirly lines first and then follow them
to fill in the background. In this design, I hooked
the swirly lines using a different wool,
in a subtle shade difference,
to make it stand out.
