Greetings,
I'm back home and back on the List. Four weeks of traveling in northern Europe
was an experience that I won't soon forget, though some details may get mixed
up in my mind as time goes on. I kept a journal each day for a reference.
I flew in and out of Amsterdam. When I landed (and

for rug-hooking, but I don't think a rugmaking implement is the tool that
Mark saw (there is the Russian 'punch-needle' similarly made with loops of a
continuous yarn pushed into a fabric)(and was it even Russian). Regardle

Have not heard the term proddie or clippie rug, in North America we have
hooked rugs from colonial times (though how far back, I don't know),
sometimes made of wool yarn hooked in to the canvas (and yes, it is from
