rug making

well as a lot of you know i am a crafty person. i love to knit and crochet and have just been looking for a new project and think i have found a choice. there is rug making - theres braided, latch and rag rug making or i have just been watching afghan crocheting on you tube. i ordered ll the tools and needles cos i will probably eventualy do them all but for the next project i havent decided yet. will let you all know which i decide on and post you update pictures of it. right now i have a blanket to finish if Lottie would stop running a way with the ball of wool the little minx. Lemmy took my crochet hook yesterday and tried eating it. It may be metal but its not indestructable. I had to go get a new one this morning.

Never a peaceful moment hun

ya know he actualy gets jealous of the wool. evey time i pick it up to do a bit more he insists on getting on my knee for a cuddle which usualy means i have to put it down again. its got that big now though that he just laid on it this morning while it was on my knee so i just carried on regardless

I used to do cross stitch until a few months ago when I completely lost my rag with one and ended up throwing it in the bin , after hours of work

Will maybe take it up again sometime.

i would love to do something like cross stitch but i cant sew for toffee keep getting the thread knotted

I have one need to learn to use it, scared its gonna hurt me,,,,

I'm a knitter too. But at the moment I'm mainly doing cross stitch. The biggest challange for me is trying to keep all the dog hair off my knee, other wise I end up with lots in the cross stitch!

Currently doing a meerkats one. The knitting needle usually come of for baby stuff for people.

my mum taught me to kniw when i was a kid and its only the last few years i have been actualy making stuff. crochet she taught me when i was pregnant with my son. everyone says i am getting like my mam every day. the little old lady that sits in the chair knitting, crocheting or making rugs and nipping out to the garden to feed the birds. the cheeky sods

Never Julie, you enjoy it and you need to sit down to do it
