'Rainbow'-the remaking of a rag rug

The finished product

Jess' loose and wavy rag rug

Unicorn puke

Rainbow rag rug ball

The finished product
On Friday, I was at my sister's house.  Every time I'm over there I notice how loose and wavy the first rug that I made my niece (the second rug  I ever made) is.  It bugged me, so I decided to bring it home with me, unravel it and crochet it back up-properly.

So that's what I did, and also she (the rug) now has a proper name-Rainbow.  (The first 30 or 40 rugs I made were not named.)

Have a great day!

I was wondering if you have an esty site? Do you ever sell any of your rugs? I love them and just moved into a cottage and think they would look great in my kitchen and laundry room. Kim

Thanks, Chicky!

I have thought about opening an Etsy shop, but the cons for me outweigh the pros. Sure I'd like to make some extra money, but if I know myself (and I think I do), having a shop would just end up being a stressor in my life and I can live without that.

I'm flattered that people like my rugs, though!

Love those rugs - your color choices are so pretty,very cheery indeed. Don't blame you for not wanting to get into sales,however. It might just take all the joy out of making them.
