CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
latch hooking...have you ever

I've done lots of latch hook rugs and pillows. The toughest part is seeing the color changes on the pre-printed stuff sometimes, but most kits come with a graph as well. Use it!
I've seen some people who try to do each color separately--this is a bad idea as you can easily miss spots or get tangled with a previous color. Work each row all the way across. Usually you start at the bottom. If you fold the canvas back along the line of strands you are working it makes it easier to get your hook thru.
Try to be a bit relaxed when you work. You can always tug the knot tight after it is made, and being relaxed is easier on your hands and wrists.

I've made a few mistakes. I think the info by Celtic would have helped me from the get go. My mom was into latch hook and made each of us individual name rugs.
