Make My Week - a mightyish rug/ crafty fail

it took rather a lot of wool, it must be said - I had this vision of a gorgeous room changing enormous rug made of chunky wool on huge needles. At 8 balls of wool I decided to cut my losses and scale back from mighty to just 'ish'.


Also kind of dangerous on tiled floors.

Also notice the hole on the right corner? Me too.

Also notice a general lack of symmetry? Yeah, me too.

Also pills like the badness making it quickly less visually appealing.


Flip has liberated it from rug to blanket (not really big enough for that either).


I think I'll stick to smaller knitting projects for a while.

and over here are more ladies doing crafty things

 Show & Tell Thursday's

love you more than a mighty knitted rug and it's lesser know cousin 'ug' xxx

Oh Miriam, God loves a trier :). You knit better than I speak Urdu. I hear you on the wool guzzling, some projects take much more balls of yarn than we realize!

Haha ug and the badness - you make me laugh :) At least it has a purpose now and everyone can move onward and upward right?! Good intentions and great plans are always a great way to start xx

good start - weak finish - seams to be a pattern for me! :o) 
If its wool then you could try blocking it- blocking can sort a multitude of sins.
