I brought my hoops to the New England Folk Festival last weekend - knowing that I was going to be more-or-less captive in the Crafts Hall with my beadwork all weekend, I just didn't want to be without them. Fortunately there were some nice little open spaces in which I could hoop at odd moments - and share my hoops with kids and adults who either knew how or wanted to try. Stephen Ide of the Patriot Ledger posted a nice article AND video at blogs.townonline.com/folkbluegrass/ (the video alone is at www.youtube.com/watch ). About a minute and a half in, you'll find some hooping....

Best, Martha
