I really like the idea of an email class.

Lindy and all latch hookers,

Lindy, Since you are interested in the rug-hooking, perhaps you could look at the emails with the descriptions of the kits and see which kits you might like to make. The class format has not yet been decided. Because of the time difference, perhaps we could have this as the second email class? Joyce would have to decide whether this is a good idea. It could be a good idea because then everyone would have a pattern sent to them and could go at their own pace and post questions for help or discussion.  I am more than happy to teach the class this way. all of us who have expressed interest already know how to latch hook, so it is merely a question of sending the pattern in an accessible format really. 

Speaking of latch-hooking, I have a few people who have sent me their choices for kits, and at the moment we have a tie going between" flower pup"
and "puppy love." There is still time to change your mind or add your choices. The class looks rather small right now. hope to see more interest Cathy

I was wondering if such latch hook pattern books might be available somewhere?
One of our teachers compiled such a book for us in Afrikaans and it was produced in braille for those of us who were taught did latch hooking at school.
 However, this was more than 20 years ago and I think only that one pattern book for latch hooking was ever produced here in South Africa.
We worked with fairly large canvas squares and bulky yarn and the patterns would have a name and then the row number with the colours as Michael described.
Just wondering.
Lindy
