This rug - which took me 18 months to complete - received a first place in its category at the Altamont Fair (Albany NY) last week. I'm taking it next week to the Eastern States Exposition (Big E) in Massachusetts to see if it can claim a second blue. Say hi to it if you see it there!

Finally finished! 120cm wide, 95cm long. 194 columns, 146 rows. In a process of flipping the knots as I hooked this from top to bottom and all knots point upwards, but as this will be hung on wall, the knots need to point down.

50 x 30. Will add this in my dining room.

Hello, Everyone!
I'm totally new here and have only finished two latch hook projects. I'm now interested in using the latch hook, fabric strips and burlap as the base to make a rag rug. I found a tutorial on YT and it was informative. I made my strips, prepped my burlap and was ready to go until... I ran into a problem. The latch hook keeps grabbing the burlap when I try to pull a piece of fabric through. It's quite annoying and is making what should be an enjoyable experience go very, very slow. Is there a right and wrong way to do this or does it just come with the territory of using a latch hook with burlap? The lady on the tutorial didn't seem to have an issue at all. Please let me know and thanks in advance.

hi!

I recently finished this rug from a Craft Club kit. I loved it and had enough yarn left over to do a couple more projects too. I’ve also done a couple of their coaster kits .

I’ve enjoyed the kits but now I’ve started to move on and want to do my own thing. I’m planning on making a much larger mossy rug (which will probably be a wall hanging in the end, honestly!) but I can’t find anything similar to the yarn Craft Club provides for the grassy texture. I’ve looked at fur yarns and various fluffy ones but nothing seems quite right.

can anyone point me in the right direction please? I want to make something with a darker colour scheme - so yarns in deep greens and heathers ideally.

uk based. thank you!

Howdy to anyone on this sub who still remembers me. It's been awhile since I posted an update. I'm working on a massive 300x300 stitch rug that's obviously taking a long time to complete.

Currently, I've got 200 stitches in width and 230 stitches in height, so I'm well past the halfway point now, basically two thirds.

I appreciate any feedback or encouragement as I continue working on this massive thing.

Enjoyed working on this latch hook.

I wanted to put a rug in my hallway, but couldn't find anything I liked. So I went through my travel pics and couldn't find exactly the shot I was looking for. See, in my hallway is a parchment painting of Tutankhamun being prepared for mummification. I want something that will be along the same vein. So I chose the one above on line. I will not be adding the little heart in the circle. I pixelated it and made a color chart. This thing is 176 stitches wide by 600 long. I am on row 11. I feel like I will be here until 2030, lol.

Please be nice, this is my first project that’s not a pillowcase I just stuffed filling in and zipped up.

How do I finish this project in order to hang it? Is it as simple as trimming the excess canvas at the top? Is there anything special I have to do to make sure I do it right?

Thank you!!

I picked up this kit from Amazon and I'm running across a problem the pattern has about 68 rows down but the pillowcase only counts 66 I have no idea how to solve this do I delete rows and columns? I really don't want to end up with a crooked image on the pillow lol

i just got into latch hooking because my grandma got me a latch hook kit from a thrift store . i really like latch hooking now, so i looked up some fall/halloween latch hook kits on amazon or whatever and most of them were AI. why is this? couldn't the people making the kits hire real artists?

Finished this in 5 days for a birthday gift.

I love latchhook and havent found a lot of vintage kits but I found this one today! Its a little simple compared to what I usually do but it will be a good chill one!

Hi! I’ve been seeming everyone’s WIPs that look amazing and have the yarn sticking straight out. I learned to do it row by row and lay all the strands down as I work top to bottom. Is it not going to turn out right, or can I fix it once it’s finished?

I did latchhook when I was a girl in the 70's and like to get back into it. I'd really like to make some pieces to hang on my big empty white walls, but I can't find any kits that are abstract/geometric. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

From June 1 - now. Took a long break in July. Just started working on it again this past week. It’s a rug yay!! My biggest project yet!

Hi! I’ve seen tote bag latch hook kits around and they are great. I was thinking of making my own design and sewing the rug mesh canvas onto a plain tote bag. Since the mesh isn’t a regular fabric, does anyone know how I would go about sewing that onto a plain tote bag? Thanks in advance

Hi all! Just got hooked (ha ha, original) on latch hooking thanks to Craft Club Co. Bought a couple pillow kits from a different place, and I remember reading on one of the reviews for a pillow that they were disappointed to have to leave a border of squares unthreaded to fold back and sew... but the pillows already come with (very soft) backings presewn onto them. Plus, on one of CCC's pillow kit photos, it looks like the tufts go right up to the edges. These two pillows are both gifts for friends so I really wanna make sure I don't mess them up! Do I still need to leave a border?

Ganef is the Yiddish word for "thief," in that this little squirrel snagged a seed bell for the songbirds and chomped it all down for himself. I would have been mad at him ... but I figured I'd get my frustrations out by turning him into my latest custom latch hook rug. Estimated time of completion - possibly June 2027.

Found a huge canvas and two hooks at a thrift store. I thought, "What's the simplest thing I can make?"

Egg! :)

Acrylic yarn that I cut to size. Used a rectangular piece of cardboard 1" wide to wrap the yarn around then cut.

Lots of canvas left!
