Question: My brother Bantam (16) won a pair of latch hook rug kits for Christmas, but he is disappointed he can not find a lot of "Intrepid" bosses he wants to do had the Second World War in particular. What I fail to know where I can buy these for him.

Answer: I do not distinguish the number of "manly" kits you'll find. They may exist, and if they do the Internet is totally going to be the best place to start searching.

Crafters are 'hooked' on 19th-century art form

Beverly Caucasian is hooked. On rug hooking, that is.

When you first hear “rug hooking,” your wisdom might go right to latch hook, the simple yarn kits in craft stores or childish rugs. But that’s far from the fact. The pieces that White, her daughter Karen Richards and friend Sharon Barnes bring into being are complex works of art. They meet one Saturday a month at the Margaret E. Heggan library to hook away on their pieces, talk and get feeling for new twists on an old tradition.

Traditional rug hooking dates back to England in the 19th century, but the act of putting wool loops through a thick, woven framework may go as far back as the Vikings. It evolved from practical means, to make rugs for thick-skinned, wooden floors out of scraps of fabric. But it soon evolved into ornamented designs that are more often hung on walls instead of floors.

The kind of rug hooking that Unblemished and her guild are toiling away on are far from traditional. Currently, White is hooking an figure of three sheep and while there is some wool from Yorkshire sheep in their ears, she has also incorporated some more unconventional materials. A radiant, silver metallic fabric, reminiscent of a swimsuit, lines the edges and pigmy plastic mirrors dot the sky as stars.
