This paperback book was fairly thin and the designs were a little too primitive~country for me. And, upon looking through the book, I realized that I knew many of the basics of wool fabrics and cutters and hooks. I should´ve realized it was more of a beginner´s manual and although it does have delightful colored pictures of the projects, they are not as different, as geometric or as contemporary as I have been looking for.. And summed up by saying A little too country for me.. Currently Rug Hooking for the first time has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
