A bit of a catch up

I've had another long break from my blog.  I've been doing all sorts of bits and pieces since last time I posted here so I'll try to do some catching up. I crocheted this rug over the winter using heaps of leftover scraps of yarn from my stash and my mother's stash, and a few bits from one of my friends too. It's as big as the quilt on our spare bed (large single bed) and took so long to do. I enjoyed making it but it got so heavy and awkward to turn by the end that I was glad to finish it. Now it's packed away in a cupboard away from Miss Millie the cat until next winter.
