“Hook and Cook” Potluck

October 21st 11:00am-3:00pm

Free! Just show up.

Hi, Happy Hookers and other Merry Stitchers,

Join us on Saturday for a harvest potluck, rug hooking demonstrations, and socializing & sharing in the cozy, dreamy studio of Warner Mountain Weavers.

I will demonstrate how to hook a tote bag using Bonnie’s natural dyed Navajo-Churro yarn. Also I will give a 5 minute demo on how to hook an ugly plastic laundry basket using roving. There will be an informal question and answer session on hooking and hooked rugs for current hookers or for those who are just curious. I will uncover the most obscure secrets of hookers around the world (like how to clean a hooked rug).

The good old “Store-in-a-Box” will contain everything one needs to get started hooking or finish that long-lived project. I have several tote bag kits, different hemming materials, and a variety of hooks and embroidery hoops. Linen foundation material, hand-drawn patterns on linen, and some wonderful little mini-kits will fill out the box.

Hope to see you there!
