It was lovely! <br />I used an 8 cut and crochet in every other hole, meaning every other hooked loop hole at the edge. And three times in the corners... If that makes sense.

I finished my challenge rug in plenty of time but sent it to Lori a day late so I was not included. <br />Your crochet edge looks so much neater than when I've done it.

I think I bought it from a Canadian seller. I love the longer shank, for when I crochet the strips. The Moshimer shank is a little too short for that. You are welcome to post a photo of the hook and ask the fb group... They seem to know everything! :) northwest folk designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893683054653406939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419475238498136268.post-36505493890433055272016-01-21T16:36:47.783-08:002016-01-21T16:36:47.783-08:00Thank you Glenda!
