My cosy nana rug is coming along nicely. I'm working on it a little bit here & there most days & loving it! Though I had no idea how much wool I would use to make a single rug. I'm almost done on my own stash & those found at the op shops. I can't believe these beautiful pieces & hours of work sell for next to nothing in second hand stores! This is going to be one to pass on through the generations I can tell you!
A bit of a favourite way to spend my time on these cold wintery nights...
almost there...
and, after looking back over previous weeks, it seems it's not quite my creative space without another made over stool...

Oh wow - i really love the colours you are using! I didn't realize that they took so much wool!
ReplyDeleteYep once you start your way into blankets you can almost never pass them up in second hand shops..They are a true treasure...
ReplyDeleteYours looks lovely!
I love the colours in your blanket, just gorgeous! I picked-up my crochet again last night for the first time in almost a year... had to You-Tube the basics on crochet because I'd forgotten hehe! But it all came back to me thank heavens :) I'm hoping to finish my granny-square afghan blanket, I'm about half-way there :)
ReplyDeletei adore the colours youve chosen for the nana blanket i would have chosen the exact colours!! i would like to learn to crochet...oneday...
ReplyDeleteLove that nana rug, Mel...
ReplyDeleteThe rug looks so cosy and I love the colours you are using.
ReplyDeleteI see the rugs in op shops for under $8 so often. What a steal!
LOL. Definately not a creative space from you without at least one made over piece of furniture! Love the afghan. Love the colours. Love that you found a lot of the yarn in op shops. And love those cosy looking slippers!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! So many hours and so sad to see them there unwanted. Although some of the ones at my local oppy are horrible colours!
ReplyDeleteYour granny square is looking wonderful too. Thanks for commenting on the one I am making. Is that crepe wool you are using there?
I love the stool too. Where do you find them all? I have been looking looking looking for a stool and am still empty handed! :)
looks so snuggly and cosy, it's lovely xo
ReplyDeleteWow that rug is growing so fast! Well done! And it's just the perfect winter night crafting ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely cozy looking rug in beautiful soft colours. I could do with one on my couch I can tell you! Brrr, a cold nigh coming up.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I so want to make a nana rug
ReplyDeleteIts looking gorgeous! I love the colours too. I am always tempted by the op shop ones knowing how many hours and how much wool it took to make them. It doesn't seem right for them to sit there unloved.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! I have two gorgeous crocheted blankets i got at the Op shop for $5 each and I marvel at them and the hard work that went into them!! They're a real addiction for me, I always have my eyes out for more. Enjoy the process! xo m.
ReplyDeletewool hungry indeed those giant granny squares. Small sqaures take less wool, but mean lots of joing! Love the colours and the stool - where ever do you find them all?
ReplyDeleteThe colours of your quilt are stunning!! It will definately be passed down!!! And a stool...wouldn't be you without one ;)
ReplyDeleteyour blanket is looking fabulous, you have chosen some lovely colours to work with! I agree your creative space isn't quite you without a stool! I have nice mental pictures of your house and stools in corners in every room.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful does not describe , Someday my goal is to learn how to knit or crochet a friend tried to teach me one afternoon and has never been back I had a hard time getting past the first knot....you have mastered the art!
