so i ended up completing this tutorial. I'm extremely excited to latch hook a project! I scaled it down to 20x10 inches. I cut the photo into quarters and I'm going to attempt to print. Can I still look at the blue squares from my material I'll buy to start working on it? You said each square is by 10 to match the latchhook. I don't know if mine will be too big but I did everything else right! I'll just have to buy the appropriate length of yarn and see how well I do lol. Not sure when I print if it'll be the same to actually latch hook it - if the size difference matters. Here's to hoping lol!. If you have any tips please comment back. TIA
When I take a relatively big photo, then scale it to 150x100 pixels, then zoom in, I get an absolute mess, there's little left of a decent image... I don't get how that audrey stays so relatively detailed...
Hi Shane, I am interested in taking up Latch Hooking as a New Year's resolution to get more creative. On my computer, I have Corel Paint Shop Pro X7. To create my own designs in Corel Paint Shop Pro X7, is the designing of a pattern done in the same way as you did it in GIMP or is it done differently. If it is, can you possibly tell me what I need to do. Thanks. Emma J Gordon
+ShootinItPodcast I just used a strip of cardboard cut to the right width, wrapped the yarn around it then cut it with a pair of scissors. I never checked to see if there was precut warn.
I'm new to this latch hook thing. I did one pre made kit and had a ball. Now I have a custom project in the works. Is there a standard length of yarn for latch hooking?
because I really don't have the materials to do huge rugs just smaller wall rugs. i know tou said to use more colors to clear it up in the video but I want to make it clearer without having it turn out to be a huge project.
6 years, 5 months and 7 days after you uploaded this video, it's still helping people... Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you for posting this tutorial
This helps a lot Mr.Passon

Linux and gimp image editor 😂 that takes me back
How do you deal with color being slightly the same? GIMP marks some of my colors (which are obviously different) with the same pattern...
That looks great but complicated! I’m into doing latch hook but I really would like to do my own patterns but this looks so complicated!
There are other websites that you just upload your picture. Look for them
Thanks for answering him, now i know what to look for. I had a similar enquiry lol
Awesome tutorial but where do you print that? on paper? and then how do u build the rug on paper?
Sorry about these questions im very new

Nice. Can you buy pre-cut yarn or whatever or do you cut it yourself?

Hi Mr Passon
It wrote me, that permission denied. You know what is the problem? Please help me :)

+ShootinItPodcast I'm not sure, I don't actually do many latch hook projects, I copied lengths from a kit. I suggest you do the same.
2 inches at the very least. It gives you just enough to work with. You can always trim it if you need to
How do I add it on the actual canvas?
Have same question, did you find out?
You just use it as a blueprint. That's why he has different symbols for different colors, you assign a color to that symbol when you hook it.
nice tutorial could you tell us the name of the software ?
+Thelma Narvaez I used GIMP (its free), but photoshop has all the same functionality.
@@scpasson thanks
When I go to scale a larger image dow. to be smaller it looks way to vague. is there a way to make it clearer or do you have use a smaller image?
because I really don't have the materials to do huge rugs just smaller wall rugs. i know tou said to use more colors to clear it up in the video but I want to make it clearer without having it turn out to be a huge project.
You will have to find an image that works well with low resolution. Small pictures work well. That part is just trial and error.
Could I pay you just to send me a design you've already created?
Someone else made an online resource. Check out www.leftsource.com/
Why would anyone want a pink rug with a picture of Audrey Hepburn on it?
because this rug gives you Hepburn instead of rugburn
