The Rug Hooker's Bible,

This review is from: Rug Hooker's Bible, The: The Best From 30 Years of Jane Olson's Rugger's Roundtable (Paperback)
This is a great, step by step, instructional manual. The directions are easy to understand and the many pictures really show what's supposed to happen. This book has helped me more than the rug hooking classes I've taken.

This review is from: Rug Hooker's Bible, The: The Best From 30 Years of Jane Olson's Rugger's Roundtable (Paperback)
This "Bible" is a wonderful resource for the basics, as well as advanced hooking and dyeing techniques. As a beginner, I was surprised to learn of all the variations in design, composition, and color shading possible. It covers both primitive technique and precision hooking in great detail. This is the one to buy. I'd also bought "Purely Primitive", and it was just that--the very, very basics. I learned alot more from "The Rug Hooker's Bible".

A wonderful book for hookers,
By Raspberry G. "Aspiring shepherdess" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rug Hooker's Bible, The: The Best From 30 Years of Jane Olson's Rugger's Roundtable (Paperback)
This is a really great book for people wanting to learn the intricacies of hooking with wool. I found the examples of fine shading better that many of the books written solely about fine shading. There is something in this book for everyone from beginners to experts. The photos are fabulous too. If your eyes are too tired to read, just cruise through the photos, they're beautiful and worth every cent you'll pay. Of all the books on rug hooking that I have (and I have almost all of them), this is my favorite.
