(b) INTRODUCTION

This document was born out of my fascination with this historic
art form, and my frustration in trying to learn to hook without a
teacher. I hope it will help other novices get started without
having to reinvent the wheel. I also hope this document will be a
valuable resource for veteran ***s who are trying to find a
rare material or the perfect design.

I'm no expert, just an enthusiastic beginner - so if you have any
additions, corrections, or suggestions for improvement to this

(until the end of August). Future versions of this document will
benefit from your wisdom! Please let me know how you wish to
appear in the Acknowledgements (by name only, name and email,
name and city, name and snail-mail, or some combination of the
above).

Happy hooking! =)          Deborah Merriam

(c) HOW TO RETRIEVE THIS DOCUMENT

Please check the "Expires" date at the beginning of this
document. Has it passed? If so, chances are good that some
information listed here is out of date.

The current version of this compilation is posted to the Usenet
rec.crafts.textiles and rec.crafts.misc newsgroups monthly, on or
near the 10th of each month. You can obtain a copy via e-mail by

Please note that this is a temporary address; by the end of
August, I expect I'll have settled into a new account at another
school.

You can also get a copy of the current version from the gopher and
anonymous FTP sites maintained by the P.E.I. Crafts Council. For
more information than given here, please e-mail Peter Rukavina,

Here's the information Peter gave me on how to find the document
(it worked fine for me).

(1) By Anonymous FTP

Users can connect by anonymous FTP to "gus.crafts-council.pe.ca"
and look in the pub/rughooking directory for the two files
FAQ.part1.Z and FAQ.part2.Z which are compressed versions of the
two parts of the FAQ.  The URLs are thus:

ftp://gus.crafts-council.pe.ca/pub/rughooking/FAQ.part1.Z
ftp://gus.crafts-council.pe.ca/pub/rughooking/FAQ.part2.Z

Please try to restrict FTP access to after business hours (9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Atlantic Time), if possible; they have a slow machine
and a slow Internet connection.

(2) By Gopher

Users can point their gopher clients at "gopher.crafts-
council.pe.ca" and then select "Other crafts-related information"
and then "Rug Hooking: Frequently Asked Questions."  The URLs are
thus:

gopher://gopher.crafts-council.pe.ca:70/00/other/rughooking/
FAQ.part1
gopher://gopher.crafts-council.pe.ca:70/00/other/rughooking/
FAQ.part2

I will eventually be submitting this document to the *.answers
moderators, and making arrangements for its archival on more
anonymous FTP sites. Stay tuned for further developments!
