Originally this site began as a single page about my love of latch-hooking and the latch-hook rugs I’ve designed and made, as well as those I’ve re-worked, revived or customised. Like most of my projects, the site took on a life of its own as I scanned in my old rug pattern books, photographed those near-forgotten accessories that latch-hookers had (table clamps, wooden gauges and rotary cutters) and researched the history of latch-hooking suppliers that were once household names.
