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.

Very Tired

Posted on October 16, 2024 by pauldelancey

My stunt double

I haven’t slept well for some days now. So, I’m very tired. I did go to my crafts group and worked on my Minnie Mouse latch project. Then I shopped for three special meals. It took  a long time. I had planned to make Strawberry Balsamic Chicken but was  too tired and had sad graham crackers instead,

I’m too tired to make a special picture, so my Stunt Double is going to fill in for me instead. He’s rather a nice guy.

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 Latch Hook Project – Part 1

Posted on October 4, 2024 by pauldelancey

I finished my Charlie Brown latch hook project, but with illnesses, doctor visits, and plate tectonics I’ve delayed starting a new project.

But no longer.

But first, two days I brought the mounted Charlie Brown(tm) latch hook to the crafts class. A librarian saw me holding it and took a picture. My project and I will be in a forthcoming county newsletter. Two other crafters took pictures as well. It all made me feel special and I was dearly needing a pick me up.

I’m taking over a friend’s barely started latch hook of Minnie Mouse(tm). It’s a little harder as the thread is somewhat thicker,

Anyway, here is my start.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 8

Posted on April 27, 2024 by pauldelancey

I just finished solved a rather ugly mess with my CPAP company. I’ve decided to and been forced to take more care of my body lately. I’m taking two exercise classes a week. I am getting a back massage once a month and I will be taking a yoga class once a week once my back is up to it.

Last Latch-Hook update saw adverse winds preventing the penguins from invading the rest of the world. The penguins, alway a fractious lot, got bored waiting to board their invasion armada. Tempers flared. Words that couldn’t have taken back were said such as, “Your mother is a communist vegan.” Face slapping escalated quickly. Two penguin demagogues emerged. The one-time cute critters took sides. Penguin civil war broke out. The lights have gone out in Antarctica.* We shall not see them again in our lifetime.”

Well, I know it’s winter in Antartica so there are no lights anyway. Let’s just take this sentence as a powerful metaphor, shall we?

Anyway, I’ve done 94+ out of 113 rows. Here is the work so far.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 3

Posted on February 6, 2024 by pauldelancey

I started this latch hook project mostly for eye therapy–to help them work together better–and to aid my manual dexterity. I also hoped to have fun with it. I am happy to say that I’m getting better and am having more fun as a I go along. I do some work at home and once a week at a  library with a sewing-and-knitting group.

There’s around 8,600 squares to fill in, so I will take some months. And here’s what it looks life so far:
