[@RibbonCandyHooking]

I've been working on a book but in a week or two I"m going to start doing a LOT of short, helpful videos with all my new tech toys. I hate the tech toys but they help the videos!

Where do I get your beginners kit?

[@kathleenvanhekken4758]

These videos are incredibly helpful! I am so great full. I just decided to try this art form and have found so much helpful information here. What a great teacher! I don’t have a store in my area, so ordered everything on line following what I have learned so far. Can’t wait to begin. I feel fairly confident I can do this because of all your videos. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed this video, with such great information, and I love those Mittens 💖

My favorite line: "If I were a beginner and I didn't want to invest a lot of money into something that I wasn't sure i was going to like yet, although I've done it 1000xs, " Too true.

[@RibbonCandyHooking]

It happens to us all!

[@RibbonCandyHooking]

Me too! A million times!××

Had no idea that you were supposed to create a "tail" with the first "hook." I had all of my tails on the backside and it looks a mess! My very first rug, though :-). Also appreciate the tip on how to turn corners with shapes. I hooked a crescent moon that looks like a lump of yellow melted moon. Next rug is going to be beautiful because of your great explanations. Thank you, Deana!

[@RibbonCandyHooking]

Don't worry about the tails. If you got through it without pulling all the noodles out then you did perfect!

How can I purchase this or other completed starter kit

What size do I start with

Do I need to wash all of my wool before cutting?

[@RibbonCandyHooking]

If you are using recycled wool I would just in case there's any sort of moth eggs food food anything on it that might attract moths in the future I would you can wash it on regular hot or warm and dry it the same way you want it to shrink a little bit so it's easier to work with but you don't want it to shrink so much that it turns into felt so I just do it on my normal setting wash in wash and dry. If I have small bits that I cut I put them in a laundry bag so they don't throttle the agitator inside the washing machine.
