Rug Hooking at the Library

 I feel a sense of relief that for the first time since Covid the Wild West Rug Hookers are meeting at the Library in Cody! 

We will meet on Saturday, July 17th, 2021. As usual, we will start hooking at 9:30 and hook until we want or 4:30. Bring a lunch or go out to eat. Come and go as you please. I'm excited to see everyone in our "old gathering spot". 

Worm Challenge Rug

 A wonderful lady I finally had the pleasure of meeting created a Worm Challenge that ended in April. Catherine Butterick challenged ATHA Region 10 to use only left over strips of wool from other projects to make a rug. We were to send pictures of our worms to begin the challenge. 

This was most of the worms I started with. I seriously wonder how many rugs I can make just from this pile. I still had a few containers in the basement.

Here is the rug I made with the worms. I can never get the colors right. the leaves are greener, teal. I am so happy with the way it turned out. It is by far one of my favorite rugs. It's a pattern by Susan Quicksall. 

I kept the worm challenge going with this pattern from Woolley Fox called Antique Posies. I am much closer to finishing this rug so I will post it when it's done. 

 

I have a series of surgeries coming up so it may be awhile. Who knows.
