February 2026

The February 2026 issue of We Like Rug Hooking invites you into a month of fresh ideas, practical guidance, and inspiring artistry. In the Color Lab, “One Pan, One Project” simplifies dyeing with approachable techniques, while Hooking 101 tackles the essentials of working on large rugs. This month’s Readers Gallery showcases the imaginative “Zodiac Collection,” bringing each astrological sign to life in wool. Our features highlight a range of creative voices and projects, from the work of Doris Norman and Ardemia Negro to the playful textures of “Thirty (Fun!) Plaids and a Plain.” You’ll also find a punch-needle interpretation in “Antique Vine” and a look at the charm of “Hooked Doorstops: From Cast Iron to Wool.” Digital projects round out the issue with the whimsical Magpie Cherry Pie pattern and “A Passion for Punch, Part 2,” offering a calendar hanger to welcome spring.
