Reviews
This book's most outstanding feature is the section of colorful patterns for making one's own hooked rugs. Each pattern's charted grid has a list of colors, a list of materials, and instructions for working the design. Also, a gallery of exemplary hooked rugs by artists offers inspiration. Unfortunately, the section on tools, materials, and techniques is short on illustrations and explanations, particularly in the area of preparation of materials and the actual working of the rug. Beginners may need a more detailed work such as Joan Moshimer's The Complete Book of Rug Hooking ( LJ 12/1/75) or the rug-making chapter of The Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Needlework ( LJ 11/1/79). Recommended for public library collections.
