Two posts in one day!! I thought I would share with you another finished job, its taken a long time (like 6 months!!) from start to finish. Anyone who has been over to our place within that time frame would have seen this project in various stages of construction.
And here it is finally completed. Our giant doily floor rug.
A 15mm hook was needed for this project and the inspiration came from here. The woman made her rug without a hook!!! The cord I used was actually 10mm cotton piping from the upholstery place where I used to work. I started with a reel that was given to me when I bought my industrial sewing machine from them, but that didnt quite make it large enough for my liking, so another reel was purchased to complete this. I would say approx 900m was used for this rug. Here are a few more shots while it was a work in progress:
Here it is completed and having a soak in napisan for a couple of days.
I needed to get the wheelbarrow in to get it out, once it was soaking,
it was impossible to carry on my own!
It then spent a day out on the trampoline to dry,
only then did it make its way back inside.
And a couple more shots of the FO!
That's all for today!!!

This rug is so cool! I'm going to attempt to make one someday soon. Thanks for the idea!
Is there a pattern available for this doily rug? I love it.
Love this. I am trying to locate the piping to make one. Would you send me your pattern for this mega rug. I am going to attempt to make it. My email address is: kwcw1@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Dear anonymous, Im really sorry to say that I do not have a pattern for this as I basically made it up as I went and took no record of my stitches. The best thing I can suggest is that you find a doily pattern that you like and work on that!
