Here in Houston, rug hooking can take place in the summer because our homes are air conditioned 24/7.  But it really isn't when rug hooking is my favorite thing to do. My quilting calls to me, because when I was a teacher, summer vacation was my time to create quilt tops. (Also much cooler)

But, we are finally looking at some 40 degree mornings coming this next week. Yippee! Evening spent under the rug I'm working on are a great way to conserve energy and stay warmer.

When do you like to hook the most? To relieve stress? After the dishes are done and the kids asleep? Whenever you can find your hook? :) Telling on myself with that one!

Have you tried to hook a rug yet? Haven't seen any comments lately, and I've sold several of the kits in my store. I'm going to offer some larger designs soon, with wool strip sets seperate.  One will be a cat design, and another a canning jar. Both are my own designs, and I enjoyed hooking them both, and hope that some of you will too.

Remember that hooking is a great way to relieve stress, feed your artistic side, recycle/upcycle some worn out woolen garments, and stay warm! Enjoy!
