No, my sister is too busy with all her Grand kids....

The carpet I have is called "Hand-knotted rug", the knots are at the back of the rug, a loop to hold the ends of the wool is made on the top (good side of the rug), with the Hook (the one which pulling the wool). I think it's called the "Persian knot"
The comb is used at the end to even out the top of the rug (pic included) It is mostly used in Europe, I think.
I will try to make a close up picture to explain it better
In the mean time....
