Absolutely amazing!! would love to have this pattern, but not sure if i'd have enough time to complete it. This is very inspiring to me. I was also thinking about doing the title screen to "The Legend of Zelda" in latch hook also. Thank you for giving me even more inspiration and encouragement in deciding to finally attempt my long desired project. Once again, this is AMAZING!!

That came out great!

It's so cool to see a latch hook project on here, it brings back a lot of great memories because one of the first crafts I
learned as a little kid was latch hook, and my grandpa had taught me how to do it.
I haven't done it in years since I dont really like any of the patterns that stores have for it.
How were you able to find the right colors to use? I know that with KG Chart and other programs,
that they make a pattern and tell you what colors to buy. Is there the same equivelant for latch hook designs and yarn colors?

I've actually been wondering the same thing for perler bead projects, how do they pick the colors????

Yay, latch-hook! I'm glad to see I'm not the only other person around that still does these.

Great job on this one! I'm still planning on making more latch-hook items to go with my Mario latch-hook, I just don't have the time and all my craft supplies are in boxes (just moved). This inspires me to start working on them again. Maybe once I'm moved in and settled I'll start up!

Thanks! Hope you do, it's lots of fun! I'm not exactly 100 percent thrilled with how this one came out, though I am pleased. I'll probably be making some changes soon.

I found the right colors by guessing actually, and just grabbing what looked okay to me. Guessing, pretty much. I'm not sure if I'd do it in the future, since I'm going to be making some changes, but I guess it turned out good enough. :> KG Chart, although it's a nice program, is for crossstitch which is different than latchhooking in many ways, but I use leftsource.com for my latchhooking personals so far. They've all turned out alright, but I highly suggest against following the pattern directly and only use it as a vague guide.

Hi, this pattern took me well over a hundred hours to complete, though I forget the total amount, but I'm glad that you like it and hope you start something soon!
