Wink Wink, hooked in wool, made up as a throw pillow. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
One eye open with a pale blue iris, one shut under a fan of black lashes, hooked wool on a cream ground with hot pink edging around the lumbar. The joke lands in about a second, which is the point.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. Wool outlives the furniture it was bought for, which is the whole reason people keep it. A thoughtful gift for a housewarming, a decorator friend, or a first apartment.
