The Great Library Cat Latch Hook Project – Part 1, Beginning

Posted on August 3, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hi there, I’m starting a third latch-hook project. It will combine two of my great loves in life: cats and books.

This project promises to possess fewer pitfalls than the last one. So the accompanying cussing should lessen as well. As always, this project should help my eyes work better together and also enhance my hand-eye coordination. Anyway, here’s what I done so far.

The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 4, Final

Posted on June 29, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hi there, I finished the Great Cats Latch Hook Project Woo hoo! It was full of unseen obstacles such as inertia, a difficult pattern, having only one type of yellowish yarn even though the pattern called for  two, and not enough yarn for one needed color. But I persevered and finished. Go me!  Full speed ahead on the next project

And here’s what I did.

The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 3

Posted on May 22, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hi there. I’m blogging again. I was on my back for most of ten days as I had not one, but two kidney stones. Yes, I am an overachiever. I’ve been to urgent care a fistful of times in the last year. Thank goodness, I’ve kept my Urgent Care punchard. I’ve already earned one free cheeseburger and am only one visit away from getting a second one. Anyway. I’ve made some progress on my Cats Latch Hook Project. Full speed ahead

And here’s what I’ve done.

The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 2

Posted on February 22, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hi there. I’ve made some project. As you can, it’s going to be two cats. I’ve sorted enough of the yarn to progress more quickly. However, the kit calls for me to use two nearly identical bits of yellow yarn. I just can’t tell them apart. I’ll see if I can get a better pair of eyes to tell the yellow colors apart. Then it’s full speed ahead

And here’s the inital progress.

The Second Great Latch Hook Project – Part 1

Posted on February 19, 2025 by pauldelancey

Hey! I’ve started a new latch-project. It’s early days so it does look like much yet. For some hateful reason, the makers of this new latch-hook fit jumbled all the yarn colors together. This made finding the right color, and thus the project much slower.

I solved this problem by buying DeWalt(tm) tool-sorting case. It was cheaper and better than the crafts sorters. It took a while, but most of the threads are sorted into their compartments. Beside, it looks spiffy.

And here’s my yarn-sorting case.

Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project – Part 5

Posted on November 17, 2024 by pauldelancey

Hey! I finished the latch-hooking part of the titanic Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project. I’d like to thank the many, many bits of material who willingly let themselves be turned into bits of yarn. This project simply wouldn’t been possible without them. A shout out goes to gravity. I shudder think if it had not worked the entire life of the project. Just one day without gravity would have been chaotic. Imagine hundreds of bits of yarn floating about the room. Imagine me floating about the room. Picture people meandering around the atmosophere. Brr!

Anyway, gravity held the entire time. I finished Minnie Mouse. And I’m very thankful.

Anyway, here’s what Minnie Mouse looks like.

Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project – Part 4

Posted on November 5, 2024 by pauldelancey

The epic Minnie Mouse Latch project continues. At the very beginning, little pockets of colored yarn were splattered all over the upper-right corner. Also, the project somehow got started on the right edge of the mesh instead of at the bottom. So, I saw the whole developing picture from the wrong side. These two effects made the color pockets look like, well, yarn vomit.

Now that I’ve progressed and the image nears completing, it’s looking like a beautiful Minnie Mouse. Patience, Paul, Patience. (PPP.)

Anyway, here’s a hint of what patience will look like.

Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project – Part 3

Posted on October 24, 2024 by pauldelancey

The epic Minnie Mouse Latch project continues.  Besides providing a valuable exercise in making my eyes work together, something they don’t like to do with things that are up close, this exercise yields other saluatory benefits. The foremost of these benefits is drawing the people of this great nation together in kindness and understanding.

How so? Latch hooking calms me down. I have not taken to the streets to foment revolution. Can you imagine the carnage? Best to keep me occupied, And what of brotherly love? A smiling Minnie Mouse. It simply is impossible to harbor hatred to anyone when the image of Minnie Mouse remains firmly implanted in your brain. By following my Minnie Mouse project, the American people can track the inevitable march to serenity. Loving and helping each other will follow as certainly as day follows night.

Anyway, here’s a hint of what love and serenity will look like.

Minnie Mouse – 10/24/24

Minnie Mouse Latch Hook Project – Part 2

Posted on October 14, 2024 by pauldelancey

The amazing saga of the Minnie Mouse Latch project continues. There is a little extra excitement associated with this project, though. The company that sold this kit, put down the color grid on the mesh at a slight angle. Usually if the side of the square I’m working is red, I use a bit of red yarn. However, the color on the side of the square is sometimes half red and half black. In these cases, I have to make an executive decision. These choices are fraught with concern. If I pick the color unwisely, will the fabric of the time-space continuum be rent in twain? Will our Earth leave its orbit and spiral into the Sun?

So far, no.

Anyway, here’s what it looks like.

Minnie Mouse – 10/13/24
