I have found that rugs of any quality or visual appeal have reached astronomical prices of late. I don't care either way about money but I can't justify waste. I wanted an 8x10 rug for the living room's hardwood, cold floor and I did a lot of browsing only to come home tired and frustrated and without a rug.
I have this little obsession with knitting, perhaps you've heard about it. I like to knit illogical things, things that would be better made by weaving or leather or anything but yarn, it makes life fun. So I have decided that since I cannot find a rug I like for less than the cost of the yarn I would need to make one, I am going to go wipe out Walmart's craft section, you know, the place where they keep the super cheap, super sturdy yarn. It doesn't feel all that good and I am sure my fingers will complain the entire time about the low quality acrylic but I am now determined.
As soon as I get it started I will add pictures, I'm thinking about a minimum of 14 colors pieced together randomly in 8"x 16" sections. Wish me luck!
