Joan Moshimer, a legend among rug hookers, has written a wonderful overview of the art of traditional rug hooking. Her book includes a short history of the craft, basic hooking techniques, equipment and materials you will need, a wonderful section on dyeing, concise illustrations, lots of pictures of rugs (both color and black and white), tips on designing, and tips on everything from primitives, to shading and hooking birds and animals. If you can only own one book on rug hooking, this should be the one to have in your library! Reviewer: jafwdf@indy.net from Indianapolis, IN
