OOP - Challege - Letter/Pattern

Whenever I'm working on one of these code challenges i try to work on them in the workspaces so i can toy with them a little easier - I've added the code im trying to use at the moment but the output im getting in workspaces is : str(Letter("dash-dot"))
'dash-dash-dash-dash-dash-dash-dash-dash'

Edit - so obviously there was no way it was looping and eachh letter was being iterated over to be checked if it was a . or -, of which none of the 8 characters are . ,, so we get 8 "dash"... I'll continue to update what i get to until someone replies or i find the correct answer

Any help appreciated

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, words):
        output= []
        for thing in words:
            if thing ==  'dash':
                output.append('-')
            if thing == '-':
                output.append('')
            else:
                output.append('.')
        return cls(output)



class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
         pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
         super().__init__(pattern)
