New rug hooking items!

This is a punch needle patteren that I got from Karen in a swap. I loved the patteren
and just couldn't wait to get it done.
Here are a couple of new books that I got on rug hooking. I have only glimpsed inside. I haven't
had time to read them(all the way through yet). I am looking foward to a quiet day , then I will
really be able to enjoy them.


Here is a few of the magazines that I do read. They all are very good. They also have free patterens in them. I enjoy them very much.



Here is my chair that I read, sew and hook in. It is really very comfortable.




I got this lamp at wal-mart to use to see to hook my rugs with.





Here are different size hoops that I use for everything. I quilt, crosstitch, punchneedle, and rug hook with them. I like usesing different sizes,






Now, here is my quilt hoop. That is what I use if for anyway. I have several different sizes for that.







These are some pots that I got at a yardsale. I may try to learn to dye some wool, once I get a few more.








Here are some wool sweaters and blazers (100percent wool) that I picked up at a few yard sales. I would love to find some more. I really need wool!!









Now here is my Frazier cutter. This nice, sweet little machine cuts my wool into strips. It cuts them according to the size cutter(that's the little wheel thing) you have.










Here is the way I put my material on the cutter, well this is a side view so that you can see what it looks like.











Now this is what it looks like at the end. See how it cuts the wool into strips. Man, I can't beleive that it took me so long o get a cutter. I love it that is for sure.












Now , here is the next patteren that I am going to try to doe. It is designed by Lavenderwool. These are the colors that I chose. Reminds me of my old barn as a child.












Here, is the first patteren that I have finished. I know that there is a lot of mistakes, but I will learn more as I go. I really, really need to learn to finish a rug. I can see that I don't know how to do the whip stitch at all. That's ok I am learning and having a blast doing it, and to me that's what counts.
