Here's a fresh take on the crafts of rugmaking and knitting-the very first book of its kind. These stylish rug projects are so eye-catching that it's hard to believe that even novices can create them. But they can, thanks to a sumptuously illustrated and thorough section on knitting basics; advice on embellishments, including embroidery; and instruction on finishing touches, from weaving ends to lining. Put this knowledge to work on a multicolored Big Needle Garter Stitch Rug, Knit and Purl Oval Rug, Thunderbird Wall Tapestry, and others. Every rug is photographed in a home setting, and includes patterns and ideas for modifying the design.
"Offers more than an attractive collection of patterns. [It] includes a history of knitted floor coverings...a tutorial, and a manual on a variety of knitting techniques."--Interweave
"...an excellent introduction ....Even some of the more spectacular rugs...are suitable for beginning knitters. Warmly recommended..."--Library Journal

Canada’s East Coast has a unique craft heritage that has seen generations hooking rugs during the long winter evenings in homes often far from any neighbours. Hooked mats and rugs were originally intended as functional pieces a place to wipe dirty feet at the back door, or a cover for drafty floors. But at some point aesthetics crept into this process, and those simple mats have evolved into the wonderful folk art rugs we see today. Nova Scotia’s Doris Eaton has been hooking rugs for nearly 50 years and is one of the region’s well-known rug hookers. A Lifetime of Rug-Hooking features over 80 of Doris’s rugs in spectacular detail, complete with the inspiration and materials behind their creation. With a foreword from Nova Scotia rug-hooker and artist Deanne Fitzpatrick, A Lifetime of Rug-Hooking is a marvelous visual tour through the works of an influential folk artist. |
