[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic Canvas and Latch Hook

Tue Jan 11 19:48:08 UTC 2011

Susan;
As you can see, I have been skipping around, trying to catch up.  This cabin patern sounds just like my loop patern, but I do it from the outside in and my center square is not exactly half the size of the rectangle.  That is because of the size of the precut pieces.

Yep, that pattern would work with the latch hook and the plastic canvis as well.
