Good evening world!
I hope everyone is getting their groove on and getting ready for a fabulous weekend that kick starts a new month!
Today, I finally finished working on a handmade wool rug that was described by my family as beautiful (I hope you agree too!) It took me almost a whole month to complete it. I poured all my love into it. It is my first real handmade rug! I used similar patterns that I created for children blankets, but I really wanted to get my fingers tucked in a rug and interior accessories in general being an interior designer and all :D
I first ordered some lovely british wool that was mixed with nylon to start! I used the whole blue pack, half the purple one and most of the two beige colours.
The big challenge was crocheting all of them together. That on its own took me a WHILE. I couldn't just have them connected like that. Something was still missing, so I added the edging. That was followed by two days of blocking to stretch the squares and give everything the right shape.
A month and a burn later, I got this rug. I am very excited and hopefully will do more soon!
This rug is available for purchase on my shop, here.

I then crocheted FORTY FIVE granny squares *mashallah* and here they are all laid below. This type of yarn is rough and has nylon in it to make it suitable for the floor. While doing the squares I got carried away and just couldn't take a break because I wanted to finish them all, which caused a yarn burn on my finger. I am proud of it. I feel like crochet has made a mark on me *LITERALLY* hehe
