Saturday night, armed with all material on hand and one granddaughter, Moira, I set out to make this cute, green, rug. Moira and I were excited. It didn't take me long to see that it would take super-human effort. A terrible attempt with a granddaughter who seldom spends the night with me. "This is impossible," I announced after latching a few. "No, it's not that bad," Moira tried her best to encourage me to continue. She tried and tried. At 9:30 pm I told her we were going to the store and I got her a latch hook kit. She latched away and we tossed out the rest of the project.
What good came out of this?
1. Don't do a project with your granddaughters unless you have done it before.
2. The cutting wheel, 45, is wonderful. I used it to cut my next project and for me, it was so much better and a cleaner cut than scissors. You need a cutting board though. Jo-Ann's has a 40% coupon online so my Fiskar was only seven dollars. That was worth all the effort.
