Mondrian rug

Finally done with my Mondrian-inspired latch hook rug.
It took long time as I had to take summer break. It was too hot to work with acrylic yarn.
The idea is from this site, but I made my rug a bit bigger - 48x78 cm.
I used Turkish acrylic yarn from my local store, it is thicker than the yarn used in latch hook kits and this was a good thing. The rug turned out very thick and soft and warm. I love it! Already thinking about another one with a middle-eastern design, but not earlier than October.
29 January 2016 - 29 March 2017.

Autumn

How do I know that the  winter is really coming (or at least autumn)? The moment I feel comfortable enough to dig out my wooly crafty projects.

The pink shawl is slowly moving along. More than a half is woven.

Half of the Mondrian latch hook rug is waiting for its second half since April.

A lot needs to be done with the Vermont Winter hooked rug. It came to a halt after unexpectedly I ran out of black wool. I guess this means that I did something wrong, probably, I hooked a bit too tight. Another worry is that I may run out of other colours too.

And the last wooly thing. My nice and warm KnitPicks Palette socks need mending. I may try to sqeeze another year out of them. 

Mondrianing

Pinerest is a dangerous thing, especially if you are a monkey-see-monkey-do kind of a person. I am. And I've just added a new project to my long list of WIPs.

This is the culprit - Mondrian inspired latch hook rug.
(I am doing yarn cutting myself - no time to wait for a mail order :))

By the way, my one and only experience with latch hooking was this lady bird rug kit hooked in 2009.
