I've been hooking squares and rectangles...... simply for fun and mixing up colors and materials.
So far I've used wool from past hooking projects, yarn, sock yarn.... and a new favorite... Twine! Which is a very pretty neutral color, and hooked in easily. I'm filling in background with leftover blacks of all kinds. It's fun to make tiny color and texture combinations. I love the way they all come together with the black. I think this will eventually become a large pillow.
Today I had coffee with Jessy. She is always doing the most lovely things for me. Jessy took my stiff Doc Marten oxfords and gave them a good going over. They were just too hard to break in. I think that if you are going to invest in DM's you should buy them when you're about 30. Hopefully, in 20 years they'll be just right. Well, I just don't have that kind of time to invest in a shoe relationship! Jessy gave them her famous "HOBO treatment".
I proudly wore these to our coffee date. Now I know perfectly well this look may not be for everyone, but I just LOVE THEM! Theyre sooooo cute with handmade knitted socks. Also soft and broken in. Another great use for wool strips are the ties. I can change those out whenever to go with whatever. Such fun!
Go forth and create, redo, and repurpose!
