1: Disappointed
I'm a beginner trying to learn punch needle rug hooking. This book is almost entirely about rug hooking with fabric, not yarn. I'm assuming there must be differences. At any rate, it is not at all what I am looking for, nor does it seem as comprehensive as the other reviews state. The section on hooking techniques does not show how to actually hook anything... rather it indicates how to go around corners and various shapes. I intend to return this book and try another.

2: Definitely "Tradition in the Making"
An excellent primitive resource. Provides tips and patterns for a variety of primitive projects. "How to"s were helpful and straight forward. An excellent addition to any hooker's library!

3: Good history. Complete guidelines for beginners.
This book has a full history of rug hooking which is a nice background to have when starting out. The instructions for beginners are the most complete I've seen so far including information on tools and the different kinds of rug hooking. Pics are nice, and the projects look to be complete with proper instructions. Although several aren't to my taste, there is still enough variety here for me to choose some I like and it teaches my something regardless of whether or not I use the pre made patterns here.

4: IT'S ALL HERE
TARA DARR'S BOOK COVERS EVERYTHING FOR RUG HOOKING INSTRUCTION. THE PRESENTATION IS EXCELLENT. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE CLEAR. THE TEXT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD. IF YOU ARE NEW TO RUG HOOKING READ THE WHOLE BOOK. IF NOT, YOU CAN EASILY FIND THE SECTION THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS. THIS IS THE BEST OF MY SEVERAL RUG HOOKING BOOKS.

Primitive designs to modern patterns alike are the feature of Wool Rug Hooking: Tradition In The Making, a collection of patterns for pillows, footstools, rugs and more which includes a back section of oversized patterns.
