I should be working on Christmas presents, but have not gotten around to drawing out a pattern, so I'm pulling a few loops on the rug I started at the ATHA biennial in a class with Maria Barton. I have a confession . . . this rug is so not me, but I'm loving it! What a fun rug. Lookee, Alice, Maria got me to use purple :)
Can you keep a secret? I am having a give-away. I am not announcing it in my title, nor will I remind anyone that I am having one. Please do not mention this on your blog. This is for people who are actually reading this post! As always, entering is simple. Leave me a comment on this post or send me an email with give-away in the subject line. I will draw the winner sometime Sunday evening. In case you are wondering what you can win, it's hookers crack as Kim would call it. Five pieces of new, off the bolt wool, washed and ready to hook or craft with. I think each piece measures about 1/4 yard. Most of it is from Heavens to Betsy and one of the wools came from Searsport Rug Hooking. I'm not sure if any of it is Rebecca's. Good luck!
Pug hugs :)

Lauren,
I feel guilty participating in your give-away since I've won wool on two other blogs recently, Saundra's and Julia's! Give everyone else a better chance to win!! So you don't have to put my name in but I want you to know I read every word in your posts! LOL!
That Halloween rug is wonderful and wonder if Maria is offering that pattern for sale on her site yet? Have fun with the most generous give-away!!!
Hugs!

I am reading this post, as I regularly read your blog. I am a happy hooker. Those are beautiful wools. I also am interested in how you hooked the pumpkin eyes.
Always need more crack Lauren LOL!
LOVE your design from your class at ATHA. I've not been able to spend much time in blogland lately so I'll have to travel back thru your posts and see what you've been up to. Thanks for entering me in your drawing - Mel
Hmmmm, hookers crack eh? Well, we hookers DO have an addiction to wool, don't we? Count me in.

I'm "hooked" on hookers crack. Please enter me in your contest!
I would love to add these wools to my small stash. I read your blog and love seeing all the pictures of rugs and pugs!
Lauren, love your very kind give away, got hooked on rughooking during my Wisconsin trip last October and spend the whole evening rughooking and wondering why my suitcase was to small to take everything home. Perhaps I make a little chance to add some to my stash.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Hugs from the Netherlands,
Liezbeth
I could not find your email, but I would love to be signed up for your hookers crack giveaway.... such lovely wools. I'm always checking your blog as I think your pugs are too cute.

You just have to grin when you look at your pumpkin! Love the purple and green. I'd like to take her as a teacher sometime. Thank you for the give away...lovely wool. Enjoy your weekend!
Love the rug you are working on! Please enter me in your giveaway!!! What a nice stack of wool! Heaven!

Yep Lauren, I'm reading! Love your veteran's day post as my hubby is a vet. Would love to win this "crack".....haven't bought wool in a long time. Might be just what I need to get me inspired. I love the 3rd one from the top.....or bottom actually!! Thanks for your generous offer.

Hi Lauren,
Love your little mat ... the colors are so pleasing ...
I feel like I have been out of blogland forever ... trying to play catch up on all my favs.
Have a wonderful weekend!

H Lauren, please enter me in your give away. My husband is the hooker but I get the goodies so I can see the wool is yummy and I am sure he could make something fun, just for me..LOL Thanks for the giveaway.. You and I must not live too far apart in the state of Ohio...SANDI R at jhrs@neo.rr.com
Your jack rug is happy! Hey it may be out of your box but it's a fun rug! Hooker's crack - love that expression! You are one generous woman! Whoever wins your give=a-way will be "high" for a while!
What a great rug and Oh those wools look wonderful sign me up. Hugs Cheri
Hi Lauren~
Lovin that pumpkin rug!! Glad you went out of your comfort zone with that one. It's looking fabulous!!
Hookers crack~that's a good one. While I would love to win that beautiful wool you are giving away, I better sit this one out. I have so many projects, I would probably just admire it for years & not do anything with it. I would rather it go to someone who will use it to make something beautiful.
Have a wonderful weekend~Becky
Love your site as you know and the wool looks good.
Michele
I love your blog and never have enough time to hook! You are sooo generous in giving away such awesome wools.
