I design and sell rug hooking kits and patterns - you did an awesome job hooking your rug (and almost 'rugs'.) You have figured out great alternatives to the traditional tools, as well. Keep at it - the next "best" tool you can buy is a Hartman hook! You'll never regret it, I promise! Hook on . . .

Bought a little kit on Ebay that had everything included so I could teach myself & now I'm hooked (no pun intended!). Isn't it fun to play with new things!! I was so excited with your tutorials in the spring issue of A Primitive Place magazine! I already made the soap & need to get the supplies for the lamps. You are so creative! So nice to see another Kris with a K!! Mine has 2 s's but it's so uncommon!! Keep up the creativity! I need to post some of my own little prim crafts on my blog to share! ~Kriss~*Kountry*Porch*Primitives*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643235642066816948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680163522051579196.post-2341531208488381102011-04-15T15:31:35.757-04:002011-04-15T15:31:35.757-04:00Your rug is beautiful and I appreciate all the ins...Your rug is beautiful and I appreciate all the instructions. Would love to try it but at this late date (age) not sure I'll get into purchasing all the right equipment. Say....you don't live too far from me - maybe you could whip one of these up for me. BTW, my birthday is in July. Hint, Hint...

I have a tons of wool that I need to felt and cut, now you've inspired me to get my but in gear!!!<br />Blessings,<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667723726417342021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680163522051579196.post-75001221037372536262011-04-15T09:57:29.408-04:002011-04-15T09:57:29.408-04:00AllllRIGHTY THEN Ms HGTV!!!

Love your rugs, and the flower pot rug(my favorite) looks perfect where you have it hung right now. Perfect. You really did a beautiful job with it too. MUCH, Thanks to you on the information you kindly passed on to us. I know I was one hounding you everywhere I saw you, asking about this special tool for cutting fabric. :DDDDD Sorry for being a bother, but I do appreciate all you kindness. Guess what, I use the same method of collecting wool as you do. :D Not just GW, but any 2nd hand store and yard sales. I have 4 huge trash bags of wool clothing to be used for my rug hooking some day. Just couldn't make myself cut it by hand. Well, guess I need to look into the future purchase of a frame(love yours). Thanks so much for sharing this post with us Kris.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MarleneY1Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252942491902281604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680163522051579196.post-33227960781338745602011-04-15T08:44:47.695-04:002011-04-15T08:44:47.695-04:00Beautiful rug!
