By latch hook are you talking about those kits they sell with pictures of animals, clowns, and other charactors? What I am thinking of is a piece of canvas that use tie yarn through to make wall hangings. Or maybe they are supposed to be rugs. I started a cat one as a child but never finished it.
I would LOVE to learn how to braid rugs. I have seen some beautiful ones at the Amish stores and at craft fairs. The ones that I have seen cost so much I would be afraid to use them.
