How to Make an American Rug

I finished my rug yesterday. It was a long process and I learned a lot...like to buy all the yarn at once so that it matches (rookie mistake)...and don't plan to dye the rug to match the yarns. This second one resulted in about 10 inches or so tearing away from the rug. So now I have a 4' x 5' rug. It was a bit heartbreaking for a moment...but I recognized it as a good learning moment...something to take note of and not repeat.


I plan to make another one...different skateboard drawing and slightly different colors.
So here's to 4 more months of latch-hooking.

Shackleton is contemplating the great unknown in that first picture. Maybe someday he'll live up to his name and lead Stella across the uncharted territory known as "rug." They may not reach the other side, but they'll make it out alive, dammit.
