Since I went the easy way and bought braided runners, I decided to take the wool I put together and make a rug for my living room. It is nothing fancy, just scrap wools that I wanted to use up and it will cover the floor until I make a better one. As you can see, Izzy had to test it, the minute I laid it down. I will keep going around until it covers the middle area of the room.
Since It was so beautiful out today, I enjoyed some cooler air on the porch. Of course I start to see things as the dusk settles in.
Do you see what I saw in the trees? Every time I go to Maine, I say I will see a moose and never do, so now I have one in my backyard;)

I love your braided rug! Are you using the silver (at least that's what color mine are) bias strip makers? (again - that's what I think they are - a handmedown from my Grandmother) Can you give us a closer view of the rug? Thanks. ~Ann
Ann,
I took it at night with flash, so the photos are not that great. Next time I will take a photo outside so I can get a better close up of the braids.

LOL! That Izzy is too dang cute! The rug looks great! And, despite only having 1 cup of coffee yet this morning, I really do see the moose in the trees! ;-)
So cute of Izzy! Love how your rug is looking so far Debbie. The colors look so good together. I see the Moose !!
you are very talented.. and I love the Moose.
I made a braided rug for my living room about 10-12 years ago - long before I started rug hooking. Believe it or not, I used polyester double knit fabric for it - can you believe that? It actually looks okay, and I doubt it will EVER wear out! LOL Yours is wonderful!
Love the braided rug. Maybe you could tell us how you learned to do this sometime?
Oh I want to make a rug!! Do you have directions on how to do it! Your rug looks great with Izzy stretched out. And I can see 2 moose's in your picture!

Very nice rug and I saw the moose right away!

the rug is looking great Debbie, great way to use up the not so good for hooking wool...and Izzy looks like she's in cat heaven, ah that comfy stretch...
Great rug; I've been crocheting fabric end rolls for round rag rugs. Don't you just love being thrifty?!
Playing catch up here....love this rug! (kitty too)
