Pastimes PEI Crow Pattern Beautifully Hooked

Easy to see creative genus...here.. Laverne
Laverne's on the left has been embellished beautifully...
Many times we see delightful versions of our patterns as hookers use their own creative minds to make over a simple pattern of ours into a piece their own. It's easy to do with a hooking project because there is no right or wrong way to hook a project. Today was delight for me to see how she had done. Laverne's version of our crow had a spider trapsing down her web in the moonlight. She recreated her own version as you can see with beautiful blues of all shades for whimsical bird. That's what makes rug hooking such a fun way to express yourself. A hook, some rags, frame and backing is all it takes. No need to buy expensive equipment until you find it's for you. We have created many simple patterns - in fact, that's all we do create, so that everyone can hook successfully with a little patience and a whole lot of pleasure.

Today our rag bins are overflowing as I 'made' packages of bits and pieces that you can purchase for a 'song'. Nothing goes to waste here. Lots of patterns, dyed wool, wool yarns from PEI and New Brunswick, too.

  1. Love it. One pattern, and even if the same colors are used everyone's will be different and have a uniqueness. One of the grand things about rug hooking.
