Wow. Click the image to see more. This kills me. I mean it really does. It’s so clever and lovely. Some people are just way cool.

    Oh my goodness, I was just transported 25 years into the past. I used to LOVE latch hook! How cool is this?

    Ah Pip, you've done it again…linking up the good stuff.

    Go you Karen Barbe!

    Oh My! This has taken me back to my early teens when I used to latch hook. I'd almost forgotten about it! Gorgeous.

    If you want to know more of the Scandinavian rugs, I have posted about it here http://kotkarankki.blogspot.com/2009/03/vintage-thingies-thursday-19-ryijy-rugs.html and about the history here http://kotkarankki.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-is-in-book.html
    The rugs are not made with a latch hook but with a big needle.
