[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hi Greg

Hi Greg;
That is strange.  The one I did as a kid used regular yarn.  It was not thick yarn.  It was a picture of a red bird on a branch, with a white background.  My mom outlined sections and I filled them in.  I tried holding the canvis against a white pillow case to see the patern, but it was just to hard.  
I use the rug yyarn to make tactual designs on my plastic canvis.  I have done the Whozit and letters.  Blind people can feal them.  They are higher up than the background stitches.  I also use it to make braille dots on my book marks.  Surprizingly, it can go through 7 count canvis.  These are smaller than the holes on latch hook.  Seven squares per inch.

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
