Wool Roving Chair Pads
 |
| Latch Hook Wool Roving Chair Pad class Fiber Guild Spring Retreat May 2017 (click collage to enlarge) |
The base of the pad is latch-hook canvas, and the pad is constructed with a crochet hook and wool roving. Working the roving and the crochet hook through the doubled edge was tricky and somewhat difficult. After the edge was covered with roving, the process went much faster for everyone.
I got about three rows finished on my pad. More to come as it progresses, but it may be awhile so don't hold your breath.
Hooray for being able to comment again! I would love some custom chair pads. Cool cool idea. It is gorgeous out today Nancy! ! Porch knitting begins this afternoon for me! wheeee
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that was fun! I was looking at my "2017 Possibilities and Dreams" and saw/remembered that learning rug hooking was on my list of what I would like to learn...but I think I need to hold off on that (not enough time to do everything I am already in the midst of - lol).
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait to see what you have done-what a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteIt sound like a great place for cats to nap! lol
So many crafts; so little time! That looks quite meditative.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the women in the photo were working hard at getting it right. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a challenge. Please show us the finished product. Where do you get your wool roving from? Do you have sheep farming near where you live?
ReplyDeleteYou do seem to be very versatile with the crafts you participate in. Something passed down from your mother, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI feel sure you had a lot of fun at this workshop and hope you are pleased with the outcome.
Such a great idea making chair pads. I could use some new ones myself. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteAnother cool activity. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
