A simple time, a simple life and a passion for wool. This has translated into a creative outlet of rug hooking, punch needle and knitting. This is where I write about what I am working on, new designs on the go and exploring the ins and outs of the creative process. Oh yes also some chit chat of daily life, books, baking and pictures of anything and everything....

Mittens and Purse.. What I am Working on
This is a wonderful purse pattern by Loretta Moore from Hooked on the Lake. Everything is included except the lining. She has a very nice selection of some primitive purse patterns. They are easy and fast to hook and I am just about to start putting it together. I want to get it finished this week because next weekend I will be going to the Glebe Community Center in Ottawa where they are holding a fibre fest. Loretta will be there as a vendor. I am hoping to bring it as a fait accompli!
This was a recommended site by Loretta of another rug hooker who designs these great mitten kits. This is next on my to do list. These are not normally my colours, but I find it is sometimes a good thing to pick up a kit in colours that are outside of your comfort zone. It's a great exercise in hooking with them and getting comfortable being outside the box. These are from Tish of Tishkits.
and what are you hooking these days....... goodnite, Joni
I like that purse a lot. I'm into more prim colors too, but I held a class for 5th graders last spring and they liked the bright colors best. I'm finishing a larger rug...which means I'm not doing anything, actually! LOL I have a great Thanksgiving pattern in the wings...might be ready next year!
ReplyDeleteThose mittens are very cool. Fun little project.
