Knitted healing, contemporary rugs – fiber arts news
Healthful Knitting
Though Kate Davies almost died of a stroke, and had a long road back to health, she has found health and happiness, thanks to knitting. We often take our knitting, weaving, and other fiber-arts passions for granted, but it’s nice to know that they are so helpful and healthful when needed. It’s worth a read to learn Kate’s story, and to see that these passions can be so much more!
Contemporary Rug Hooking
Sometimes we get the news late… and that is what happened to us with what looked to be a wonderful rug hooking exhibit at Toronto’s Textile Museum of Canada. Still, for some wonderful photos, and a great overview of the vibrancy of the art of rug hooking, take a gander at the Toronto Globe and Mail’s review of the exhibit. It’s a great window into the work of contemporary rug hookers… and a dangerously enticing invitation to give rug hooking a try!
