Finished Rug!

I actually managed to finish it tonight! There was a little yarn left over,  since I wanted to keep the two gray sections the same size. I am so happy with this little project. Now I have to decide what to use the other 3 skeins on!

I got so much done! It looks like it should be finished but in fact it still has a few rows left to go. It looks so nice laying next to my bed, and it is going to be exactly the right size. It might have been cheaper or easier to just buy a rug,...

Working with super bulky yarn is a great way to make a ton of progress in a hurry. The rug looks a little odd in the photo, like recycled paperboard or something. I picked this color because I wanted something neutral, and in person it's squish-ably soft. I'm using Bernat Blanket Tweeds for this project....

New rug for the new apartment

This is it, my first night alone in my new apartment. That means it is time for my first new project in the new place. I need a rug next to my bed, and why buy one when I could make one.
