[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rug Hooking Book ...

[qubit]

Way back in high school I hooked a butterfly pillow for my mom. We still 
have it somewhere.  They are very durable.
But it is hard for a low vision person to see the pattern.  A bird on a 
branch sounds like a very pretty pattern.  My butterfly was kind of pretty 
(blues and greens), but not as bright as a bird.  I modified the pattern a 
little bit and put little butterflies around the central large butterfly, 
extending the size of the pillow a bit. It turned out nice, but took a while 
to make.  When I was that age I never liked following a pattern exactly -- I 
would get the general idea, possibly following it if it was good, but always 
felt a need to make the design my own by adding embellishments.
Anyway, happy krafting.

I wonder if this is about latch hooking?  I did one long ago.  They come in 
kits and are not very accessable for blind people.  This was a picture of a 
bird on a branch.  My mom outlined with the yarn stitches of the color and I 
filled it in.  A majority of it was white background.  I tried holding the 
canvis against a white pillow case and even that did not help much.
