Latch Hooking, everybody's doing it!


Inspired by Superman the movie and "rug hooking fever" (common in 1979) I did attempt to do a rug of Superman's shield when I was eight. Unfortunately, I had the patience of an eight-year-old boy.

    Yeah. latch hooking! As popular with rowdy, little boys, as those little plastic squares...with rods on their tops, that help you make strings into potholders! Hours of fun. :)

    Trivia- the 1950s, + 1960s, [American-football player], Mr. Rosey Grier, likes the sewing hobby, called needlepoint. I really like Rosey.

    (Rosey was famous in the 1970s, too).

  2. I think rug hooking was illegal in my state.

    I've had an old latch hooking of Papa Smurf since the early 1980's. I had a lot of patience with it. It took me 2 years to complete it.
