Project 11 - Dark Blue Rug

Size: 86cm x 88cm

I love the design of this, although I got a bit bored finishing it off.  The wool is lovely, really soft.







Project 10 - Coloured Afghan

These pics were taken fairly quickly as I wanted to give the rug to my mum (who was visiting). Not my greatest rug, but its a good size and it used a lot of 'odd' balls of wool that were left over from other projects.





Project 9 - Light Blue Rug

This rug was made with donated wool, it was a cotton mix, which I didn't particularly like - it's a bit stiff for a baby rug, but it came out nicely.  It was donated to the hospital for sale at their regular stall.





Sorry, the white balance is out (again) on my camera!

Project 8 - Yellow, white and brown post baby rug

My latest rug took a lot more time to make than I expected it to.  (plus work got in the way)

I'm really happy with the results.  It measures 85cm x 95cm.

New rugs - January 2015

Xmas holidays watching the cricket on TV is always a good time pull out the crochet.  I completed the Green Bauble Rug that was started just before summer kicked in and then pulled together some leftover balls to make a really lovely patchwork rug.   

Project 7: Green Baubles
Measurements: 71cm x 91cm 


(Sorry about the white balance on this one!) 


Project 8: White, Red and Pink Squares
Measurements: 100cm x 82cm 

You may recognise these colours from the previous red and white rug.  All these squares are made individually then crocheted together.  I ran out of white for the edging, so made it musk, which I don't think looks too bad. Kind of frames it.
