About the following list of Rug Hooking Blogs....

This is by no means a complete list. For starters, it contains only the 25 most recently updated blogs on my much larger list. Plus, there are lots of new rug hooking blogs out there....so I know there are some missing. If you'd like me to include your blog in the list - or if you know of other great rug hooking blogs - please let me know. Send me a quick e-mail at fisheyerugs AT hotmail DOT com. Thanks!

Some of the other hooking blogs I've found along the way...
