Went to Texas just to get warm! Just kidding. I really went down to go to South Central McGown Teachers Workshop held at the Prothro Center in Pottsboro.
The weather was wonderful and to think it was snowing here in Denver. Not sorry that I missed that.
Look at the wonderfully neat way that another camp attendee, Martha Lowry, finishes her rugs! Wow! She is so amazing. I have posted other photos from the workshop rug show on my Photos page.
Martha also showed a finishing technique that is done by sewing a 3" strip of wool to the back of your rug. Then you roll the backing to the front, bring the wool strip forward to cover the backing, and finish by stitching in the ditch that is created between the wool strip and your hooking. Here is a photo of this nice looking finish:

Sheri Matz and I drive to Texas together each year to go to this workshop. She knits almost the whole way and I drive. She is really fast with those needles and can get a pair of socks done on the trip. Her furbaby Susie comes along with us, but she stays with a friend while we go to camp. . . (no dogs allowed at camp).
