[Nfb-krafters-korner] latch hook

Wed Jan 25 05:53:46 UTC 2012

Debbie,

Great find with this site!  Never seen this site before and am so glad you
mentioned it to us.

As you say, they have many, many kits and their prices are much better. I
have sent the link to my sister to ask her whether there are any other labs
or , shepherds in the kits. I also asked her which dog and cat kits looked
realistic. I will get back with all of you soon about the answers to these
questions. We already know the lab puppies are wonderful!

I did notice while browsing around that they have a good variety even in the
smaller sized kits such as the 12 inch by 12 inch. there are so many to
choose from, I just don't know what to do now. it is like when I go to
choose yarn, there is so many wonderful choices I become overwhelmed and
just can't decide!

I am still willing to teach a class with one of the smaller and/or simplier
patterns. 
Neva, if you end up being able to find some one to make the lab puppy
pattern accessible to you, I do hope you will share it with us who are
interested. Maybe the brown1, brown2 etc would work.  I'm just not ready to
try it  out myself at the moment. But hurry and get yours before the sale
ends or they run out of the lab puppies!

There is another one that sounds interesting to me that my sister mentioned.
It is called "moon meow," and is a gray and an orange cat sitting on a fence
looking up at the moon. I asked her how many colors were in that one. still
waiting to hear back on that. "moon meow" is also on both sites.

Cathy

Hi,
Knitting-warehouse.com has the labpups katch hook  kit for $22. They have 
ton of latch hook kits. They also have yarn at discount prices. It is very 
accessable with speech. That would a good idea of using numbers for 
different shades of brown. Put a reference of the yarn names with the 
numbers on the pattern so if you wanted to make it
 again.
