[Nfb-krafters-korner] latch hook, was new list members

When I had enough vision to use graph paper 4 blocks per inch, I worked out
a pattern for the school emblem and put it on a blank canvas and then filled
in with a white background. Several years ago I bought the yarn and blank
canvas to make a picture frame rug for my entryway, but it is still an
unstarted project. I do love the idea of being able to latch hook a
complicated pattern with the use of a spread sheet or a recording. A way to
stock pile accessible patterns would be great. I hope I live long enough to
make all the projects I want to finish.

Hmmm..I will see if I can dig them up. I like wildlife and patriotic stuff.
I also found some Disney ones that would be fun. There was a Cinderella and
a Beauty and the Beast my girls would just love. They are pretty expensive
though, like $60 for the Disney ones.

Michael,
Oh, that is a great idea about using a spreadsheet! I love my spreadsheets
and use them for all kinds of things.
Would you mind sending a link to some of the latch hook kits you are
interested in and perhaps others will be interested as well, (particularly
me), and we might get a class together!

Cathy,
I don't recall what I did, I think a clown was one of them, but it has been
20 years ago. For keeping the yarn organized I used little zip lock bags
with a Braille label, and a Tupperware container I think. It was for a fruit
and vegetable tray, I think, It was divided up like a pie with a center area
for dip or something. When the lid was on, stuff could not move between
compartments.
For patterns I just had some one give me the instructions and I Brailed them
out. Starting at the bottom was row one, and working up from there. It would
look like
1. 4 blue, 6 red, 32 orange
When I completed a row, I erased the row number.
If I were to do it now, I would probably use a spread sheet, then I could
have someone else type the instructions in and that part would go faster
I have looked at some kits online, and there are some I would be interested
in doing.
Michael

Hi Michael,
Welcome to the list. There are a lot of different classes and discussions
going on right now, but unfortunately not in the things which you expressed
interest.
I also did latch hook years ago, but no longer have my pattern book.
How did you latch hook, with a pattern book, a kit or free form design? What
did you make with latch hook?
I made an owl, and several geometric designs from my pattern book.
I made a picture of flowers from a kit with help from a friend with the
instructions.
The trickiest part of latch hooking for me was keeping my yarn colors
organized. The last pattern I did had twelve colors. Yikes!

Hi,
I am one of the new people to the list. I am interested in soap making, but
I have not seen none of that going on here so far. I also do woodworking. I
have done latch hook a long time ago, and thought of maybe doing some of
that again.
