Pearlman's
look into the history of rug making and her own experiences with the
craft are very motivating to the beginning hooker. Her description of
the variety of media that may be used is inspirational. I found that
her explanation of the difference between traditional rug hooking and
punch needling to be very helpful. Pearlman clearly explains the
basic equipment and vocabulary of the craft. I love that the use of
repurposed materials is common. As the author moves on to preparing
for and completing projects, her step by step explanations are clear
and are supported by photographs. While my wish list of projects to
do and the number of my unfinished projects are both growing, I am
very excited about breaking my new punch needle out of the package. I
am grateful to Roost Books for providing me with a copy of Modern
Rug Hooking in exchange for my
honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive
review and received no monetary compensation.
