Is this a dying art or is there anyone else out there that still does this? If so, what are some of the rugs you have made and where do you get your patterns from? It is really very easy to do and is so relaxing. I've only made two rugs so far and love them both, as do my cats who love to lay on the one in front of the fireplace.

I used to do them and my kids did too. My one daughter has also taught her daughter how to do latch hook...I never made one big enough for the floor though...sounds like you are really into it!

Not really into it. I've made just two small ones but really like them and enjoy doing it. I was hesitant to put them out on the floor because I have 3 cats who I thought might destroy them but I thought, what the heck, if I don't put them out how can I enjoy them. One is a Christmas poinsettia one so only comes out at Christmas. The other is in front of my fireplace.

I would love to learn how to latch rug hook. I am a lot because of Randy's foot condition and I am always looking for things to do when I am not in school. I cannot be studying six-eight hours a day because after a while it will drive me crazy. I also need to save money and not spend it on extra things such as crafting. where do you find your patterns for latch hook.

I shop online for them at Mary Maxims. You can also get them at craft stores like Michaels. Occasionally they can be found at places like Wal-mart but they don't have very good patterns. It's really easy to do.
