I see you're using an old rug making tool instead of a proper hook. I have one you can have for the duration if you'd like to try it. Let me know as the work grows quickly with the hook. Similarly if you're choosing odd things to cut up for ragging, cotton t shirts or anything 'crimpelene' works a whizz.Good luck with the project and the new job!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-59199631563138078412017-02-05T20:07:08.367+00:002017-02-05T20:07:08.367+00:00Boy oh boy -- do you ever slow down?
