This book is an excellent beginning's reference! I had no idea how to even start a rug, but after reading this book...well, it just covers everything. And it talks a lot about primitive hookings..which I love. Great resource!!

This is a great book for the beginning rug hooker. Finally, a book written on how to hook rugs that does not refer to the reader as though they already know everything! This is a wonderful book, full of clear instructions and pictures. I would deffinately recomend this book to anyone interested in rug hooking. This is the BEST book out there for the beginner. Lots and lots of beginner projects too.
