[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hi Greg

[NCBootman]

Terry,

I saw a latch hook book called Row Upon Row and it had a checkerboard using 
short and a little longer yarn for the two colors. I tried using regular 
worsted weight yarn but need rug yarn which is a little bigger. So, will 
keep at it when I get more yarn.

Thanks for the welcome.

Greg
