Past and Present

Look how light these ladies are travelling to their rug hooking event.  Frame in one hand and their rug, wool and hook in a bag.  Some ladies have everything in one hand/arm.
The woman below looks like she is quickly making her way to find a place before all the good spots are taken.  She has a sizable rug frame and small bag of wool.
The lady below is travelling pretty compact as well.
And now today's over indulgent and wool obsessed hooker.  Uh, and how I normally travel to rug camp.  
That hoard of supplies includes wool options for the camp rug and current project while waiting my turn with the teacher.  Add two frames ~ one 'sit-upon' for the sleeping room after hours and a floor stand for the classroom.  Oh, let us not forget the Townsend cutter and all the blades in the black and white tote, portable OTT lights, wine and snacks for my room.  Suitcase isn't even in the mix here yet.

In the large duffle bag behind the chair are rugs I'm taking for the show.

Okay, so I'm going away for 5 days.  But, even if I was going to  hook for just one day like the ladies above I'd be carrying a lot more than they were.  So, would you travel as light to a one-day hook-in???

Happy hooking and hope all your loops are perfect.

  3. I can travel lightly to a one day hook in (because I do very little hooking...lol!) but for more than one day. OY!!! It's ludicrous how much I pack. The exception was traveling to camp in Florida. Didn't want to have to pay for overweight luggage so had to be pretty good about packing. No fun at all!
