I haven't done any #weaving for about 20 years. (Outgrew the small, childhood looms that make potholders and placemats. Wasn't ready to commit to the price of a full-size loom.)
Found this #loom at a thrift store and it sat in the corner of my #craft room for 10 years.
Meanwhile, I've been saving old sheets and shirts to turn into rugs "someday."
The bin where I stored the old shirts wouldn't close any more 😆 so I decided it was time to make something with them.

I have for the last 2 years (with a break in the middle due to injury) been slowly making a hook knot rug, just over a metre square.
Well the knotting is now finished! Yayayayayay!
It still needs backing and a haircut but here is the semi finished rug in all its glory.

I went for their rug exhibit.

I was a bit disappointed that half of the art used pre-existing rugs as a medium and were vaguely rug-themed, but there were some really cool ones. It's not large, but pretty cool.

I finally finished latch hooking this corner! Only
three more to go. I am waiting until it’s all latch
hooked before trimming, that way I don’t
accidentally trim something too short. I also kind of really love how fluffy it is right now, and so
does the baby! #rugmaking #yarn #handmaderug #babyroom #homedecor
