Does anyone here do latch hooking rugs or wall hangings.

I did them MANY years ago. In fact I did one for my Dad, not a very large one. He had it in his pick-up camper when the camper part was blown off his truck on a highway close to home in the Mojave desert. He was trying to get his things out of the camper (with the wind still blowing) and the cop kept telling him to get out of there before he got hurt. He told the cop that the hook rug his daughter had made him was stuck between a cabinet and the ceiling and he was not leaving without it. He managed to get it out with just a small hole in it. I got some more mesh and had some yarn left from the kit so I fixed it for him. He had it until he died 21 years ago.

I don't know what latch hook is but I have an Indian Tree pattern hooked rug on a frame which belonged to my grandmother and have worked on it on and off . I can't sit still to work on it and it may never get finished but I still have her worn wooden hook, and I bought my own strip-cutter. And I have the ones she completed back in the 30's and they are beautiful.

I've done lots of latch hook rugs in the past but not in recent years. Now the only kits I can find don't have the pattern printed on the mesh. Just a grid. That just makes it way too hard for me so I guess I won't be doing any more of them. Why do they always have to change things?
