Crocheted Wool Rug

I used to make crocheted rag rugs using recycled cottons, bedsheets etc.  So when my neighbor passed along a bag full of half-finished bulky sweaters, I thought I'd try making a similar rug using the heavy wool yarns.  I think it worked beautifully, and am now on the look out for more heavy yarns!

Rug Hooked Angel Wall Hanging

This sweet angel was hooked using hand-dyed, hand-spun wool yarns.  I designed her with a floral theme - making her appropriate as a year round addition to your home! Perfect for a child's room; a sunroom perhaps.

Rug Hooked Hot Pads

These bird-themed hooked hot pads combine wool fabric (the birds and the branches) and hand-spun, hand-dyed pure wool yarn for the background.  Attractive, but durable - a nice addition to the dining table!

Boiled Wool Star Decorations

As long as the temperature hovered around 35 degrees C, it didn't seem  appropriate to post these star decorations.  But today is chilly and fall-like, so it seemed like a good idea to start hinting that the holiday season is coming!

These primitive little boiled wool stars were made from recycled sweaters, embellished with buttons, and are all ready to hang.

Hooked Rug

The colours in this rug are a real departure from my usual palate of neutrals and reds, and I'm really happy with the result!  My friend Marg, an interior designer, taught me that every room needs a touch of black.

 I had fun photographing the rug at my friend Brenda Mahaffey's antique shop - East of Eden - www.facebook.com/pages/East-of-Eden-Antiques/
