As I mentioned last week, High on Hooking has started something new: We’re offering patterns to all the rug hookers out there. Truthfully, though, we sold our first pattern last year. It was requested, not on rug backing, but on paper. Someone loved our “WOOF” rug but wanted a couple of personal changes made to it. Happy to do it.
Currently, the pattern for “Big Boucherouite” – in linen or in monk’s cloth – is listed up on the Etsy shop. I recently sent one off to Leslie. If you’re interested, I will draw it upon order to your specifications. It’s too big for paper, though. Feel free to contact me through Etsy or via Laura@highonhooking.com. In fact, most any of my rugs can be made into patterns.
This week we’re finishing up a punched pillow and hemming the recycled bed sheet rug. My hands and wrists are unexcited by both of those activities. And then there’s paperwork covering the dining room table (except where the dust is). On the plus side, we’ve started a new rug. Nothing makes me happier than that. And I see a hike in our near future. Early in the day, though, as summer’s suddenly broken here in the New Mexican high desert. Going into the 90s this week. Time to get Bowyn his pool!
WHAT WILL YOU DO THIS WEEK TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE LIGHTER?
Good for you! Making patterns, on grain, is pretty tedious work. I always enjoyed Gene Shepard’s blogs about how he does his. I hope this is a popular item for you.
Just pulled the first sourdough breads out of the oven so I guess we’ll have some for dinner.
After the dyeing fun, I need to get back to some weaving.
Ooh, sourdough. I’m willing to be glutenized for fresh sourdough bread. 🙂
