A life-sized dog rug, stretching and sleeping. Hand-hooked with mostly wool yarn on a linen backing. Finished Nov 2023.
I think this guy would work out to be about a 30-35 lb dog in real life. Instead he weighs just a few pounds.

Rowlet is completely finished now! This is my first real rug-hooking project & I love how the back looks with the twill-tape binding. There are definitely some mistakes but I'm happy with how it came together ❤️

[Image 1: A large latch hook rug in a humanoid shape. It is covered in red circular blemishes representing wounds. The center is depicted as being open, exposing the internal organs. The skin is made with a pale skin tone colored yarn. The lungs and the large intestine are made with a bright pink yarn. The bones are made with a slightly duller light tan color. The liver is made with brown yarn. The stomach is made with light pink yarn.]
[Image 2: A detail shot of the latch hook rug. It is a close up on the head, showing where the face would be. Instead of a face there are a number of red spots representing wounds.]
[Image 3: A detail shot of the torso section of the rug. The internal organs are on display including the lungs, the rib cage, the stomach, the liver, the small and large intestines. Around the left side of the opening are more of the red wounds.]
[Image 4: An even closer detail shot of the torso showing the texture of the yarn.]

2019 latch hooking
Scrap fabric on hessian
This was a rug making attempt before I even know that a punch needle or tufting machine existed. This was about as far as I got with this piece as it takes so long (so long) so I gave up and then discovered other rug making methods and here we are.
I do however, love how the X’s came out so I thought I’d share them :)

Close-up of the face of a hand hooked dog rug. Two were just shipped back to me; it's nice to send them out into the world, and nice to get them back.

I think punch needle rugs might be one of my new favourite things. It's like paint-by-stabbing.
