I learnt to crochet at convent when i was 8. Made about 10 big granny blankets and have done nothing since (I am in my late 50s). I am going to the craft shop tomorrow to buy some colors to try to crochet a blanket like Tony's hexagonal hooked rug. I will learn the basics from YouTube and see what happens. Am so fired up. Thank you so much for posting your pictures. They are truly moving.micheleaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549482548704768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940098103079811941.post-20419404584392299082010-05-03T16:13:32.633-04:002010-05-03T16:13:32.633-04:00Lois is a genius... but we knew that.Lois is a genius... but we knew that.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919887033516533590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940098103079811941.post-48234264955031351562010-05-02T21:01:07.649-04:002010-05-02T21:01:07.649-04:00Perfect uses of Worms.Perfect uses of Worms.Momz Wool Rug Hooking Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009786688687189650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940098103079811941.post-48207644999865833642010-05-02T20:50:51.557-04:002010-05-02T20:50:51.557-04:00Thanks for this inspiration, Tony.

Would make a good pick up project to do something like this.<br />Hope you had a great turnout for the opening of the show and that you get great crowds of people and lots of interest in hooking.

Your Mom did a great job on the inch mat. I love all those colors put together so artistically! Very nice!

The strips are a #5 cut so, I think 6 loops...Gayle,<br />The strips are a #5 cut so, I think 6 loops is about an inch, so maybe an inch square for the little squares and then a 2 inch square inside the black grid lines. Hope this makes sense.<br />Laurie,<br />Thanks for the kind words. Hooking is really a family activity. My Mom's grandmother hooked her own rugs from old clothes and her own spun wool yarn.<br />TonyTony Latham https://www.blogger.com/profile/06238862103478089567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940098103079811941.post-70062174889435568892010-05-01T14:44:34.662-04:002010-05-01T14:44:34.662-04:00Tony, I see where some of your talent comes from! ...Tony, I see where some of your talent comes from!
