Rag Rug Progress

Last night I stayed up until 3 because I really wanted to get started on all of my craft fair things. The fair is in the end of August but I barely have ANYTHING! I made a mini scarf, a washcloth, worked on the rug, and as I'm typing this, a "pretty" purse. No joke, thats what the color is called. My dad says its nuclear pink.

I know for a fact that I am NOT going to be selling the rug because it seriously has a lot of sentimental value to me right now. I have my favorite pajama pants that stopped fitting me three years ago, my favorite Blue's Clues shirt and a lot of other things I really like. Maybe I'll sell one where I get the scraps from Goodwill or something.

Thats all for now! :)

First Felting, and Rag Rug

Yesterday I cleaned out my sink especially well so I could felt my first item. I have a front load washer so I did it by hand. I sat there agitating the yarn for half an hour with no results. I got so fed up I just grabbed one of my dog brushed and just used that instead. The bowl is still in the process of drying but so far it looks pretty good.  There is still some
stitch definition but I meant to do that.

Last night at like 8 I started my new obsession. Crocheting with my hands. Its not as hard as you would think. The only thing that is different is that after a while your hand REALLY hurt but thats after like 6 hours. Basically, you are crocheting with a bendy crochet hook. ANYWAY, I was making a rag rug out of old T-shirts until 1 in the morning. Its not that big but only because that counts me cutting apart the pieces and things.
