Another finished project! The most ambitious so far, it took
an hour to complete a horizontal row, and there are *192* rows!
After I finished it, I took it in to the drycleaners, and had them
stitch up the sides and top (rug binding is sewn on all four sides,
- the top is sewn too, but left open, to accomodate the hanger.)
I doubt that I will ever, ever do such a big project again!
It measures 208 spaces wide by 192 spaces high --
about 42 inches wide and 38 inches high.
I ordered this kit from Herrschner's online quite some time ago.
I started working on it nearly a year later, and came up short on some of
the yarn -- about 3 bundles short of one color! I found the company
very unpleasant to deal with, and I won't be ordering from them anymore.
Instead, I am very pleased with Knitter's Bazaar Inc. While based in
Ontario, Canada they do ship internationally, and I highly recommend them.
Without them, I would not have been able to finish this project!
Another source for latch hook kits that I like is Mary
Maxim, although
they no longer have a latch hook catalogue, they do carry some kits.
