Rug Hooking with Cindi Gay: New online store at my website

New online store at my website

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I broke my knee in early January. I'm still on crutches for at least another month, but I have been getting a lot done on the computer! I've rewritten the online store on my website, cindigayrughooking.com.

If you are not a subscriber to my website, now is a great time to sign up. I will be announcing a sale on my wool (I will be adding a lot of new ones between now and then) as soon as I am rid of the crutches and I can fill your orders. I expect this to happen by late March.

Current Project

My current project is a room-sized rug, probably ending at about 7' x 9'. The final size has not been determined yet. I am currently hooking the center of the rug and will be adding at least 3 borders. The rug was inspired by oriental rugs with a center design surrounded with several borders. The motifs are casual and simple, more primitive than most orientals. The colors are ones that I love and can live with easily. The cuts I am using are #4 for the Queen Anne's lace up to a #8.5. The backing I am using is 200" wide rug warp. Yes, I am hooking wide cut on rug warp. This is the "old" rug warp and is even more tightly woven than the rug warp currently available from the Dorr Mill Store. Dorr's rug warp is my favorite backing. With the right hook and proper technique you can hook it quite comfortably. I have two cats and I find that they are either very well behaved (not likely) or the rug warp makes the difference because I have never lost a loop to one of them. Now this does not include the in-process work. The littlest one loves to grab a dangling strand and run off.
