After finishing my scarf, I found it hard to contemplate leaving my weaving class with only one project under my belt.\u00a0 Plus, I still had two classes left of the eight I originally signed up for, so I HAD to choose another project.\u00a0 And because it will take me at least two and maybe three classes before I get to the actual weaving of my second project, I’ll sign up for another eight weeks.\u00a0 Which, if you’re counting, means I’ll probably get in a third project as well.<\/p>\n

So, this time, I’ll be weaving a rag rug for in front of my kitchen door.\u00a0 It’s always been difficult for me to find rugs that I really like and that don’t cost a fortune, so making one, while not being cheap exactly, will certainly be original and definitely to my liking.\u00a0 The warp (the vertical thread) will simply be black carpet thread, but I’ve chosen two very fun fabrics for the “meat” of the rug.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The red is my kitchen table; the green polka dot will be the “background” of the rug (the blue in the picture below) and the yellow stripe will be the “overlaid” diamond pattern (the white in the picture below).\u00a0 From the Favorite Rag Rugs book, here is the pattern I’ll be weaving for my rug:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have to give great thanks to Leslie, the teacher’s helper, who spent a lot of time helping me load the warp onto my loom today.\u00a0 Because I didn’t do a proper job of tying the count of my threads, we had to painstakingly sort through 340 threads in order to get them on the loom, a process that would’ve been much quicker and a whole lot easier if I’d tied up correctly.\u00a0 So, thanks and sorry to Leslie!<\/p>\n
