I know I am meant to be finishing off some projects before I start a new
one, but after stepping out of my bed onto my cold floor again this
morning I have decided to make myself a rug ... I haven't done it since
my GCSE year at school but really enjoyed it and its a perfect project
for Autumn evenings!
I walked into town today where there is a lovely mouth-watering wool shop and bought a hook and rug canvas. I know I have wool coming out of my ears at home ... but they had an offer on ... 5 balls for £5, so I got some wool as well!
I will have a delve through my wool later and find some that goes with
the colours I have chosen .... Mum has already had a quick look through
her wool too to see if there is anything that goes :)
I think I am going to do random stripes ... here is some inspiration ...
I know that a lot of these rugs are done with material rather than wool and crocheted or platted ... but I just love the colours together!
I had a fleeting wonder about doing a City & Guilds ... told my mum who is now looking up all the courses I could do .... It was a fleeting thought ... I don't feel like I can think about it yet ............. humm, City & Guilds are a lot to help you run a business with your chosen subject ... kinda done that!
Went for a lovely walk through some fields and along a river ... Dilly loved it ... its such lovely country side here ... I feel really at home ... wish I had taken my camera though.
