Hooked blackbird & rowan rug
I’ve been working on this piece on and off for 3 years now. When it’s finally finished, it’ll probably hang over a drafty wall I couldn’t bear to risk coffee stains and mud I'd probably cry

The wool comes from the old Youghal carpet factory, that closed down in the 2000s believe
Also me spinning some local alpaca with my cat wingnut in the background ♥️

A little work in progress for National Indigenous month. A month for celebrating the history, culture & contributions of Indigenous peoples.

My own reflections lead me to believe that more than ever - we collectively need to be in the listening to our Indigenous teachings and leaders.

Loving compassion is the way.

Started on a new rug. I am so excited! #crafts #rughooking
Trying to post about my first finished #rughooking project seemingly got me banned on 2 of the larger non-regional facebook groups :-( I was careful to make sure that people actually posted works made with yarn and not just wool stripes and I have no idea what got me excluded, maybe me only opening FB every 6 months or so, my post is still pending on the third one, so I am still looking for my rug hooking tribe, anybody here into stabbing cloth to make yarn into fluffy pixelart ?
Finished my first #rughooking project, the Facebook group I posted about it promptly shut down, so you are warned, its made with wool from my stash and the design evolved naturally, have to still iron it, the back looks pretty ok too, on to the next design, I have some neon colored acrylic yarn and I want to try a more pointilistic style and a cyberpunk theme or something abstract
It turns out #rughooking is like slow art, ideal for people with restless hands and decision problems, you may feel like its a blue day or a grass day and you find an area that speaks to you, choose some yarn and hook a patch, also its really near to #pixelart in soft, next project I’ll try a more pointilistic approach
Any #rug hooking people out there? I want to make my first ever hooked rug -- a small one using #fabric strips. I bought a rug hook (2mmx1.25). Is this the right tool, and what washable backing stuff should I use? Should I get Monk's #cloth, or some sort of #canvas? The intent is for a small bathroom rug that I can sometimes wash (maybe by hand).
