Tartan rug.

 In the first year that I went to crochet class some of them were discussing tartan rugs and said how easy they were to do.

I wasn't convinced, one of the more experienced crocheters bought in a pattern book to show me. I took it home but everything I read confused me even more.

I took it back and said that I would leave it for awhile until I could understand patterns.

After holidays, tartan rugs came up again and a couple of members had brought theirs in and again said how easy they were.

Always up for a challenge, I decided I would make one without a pattern. I bought the wool, yes, yes, I know I do have plenty but I wanted to ve sure that I had enough of each colour.

This was to be smallish and just for me so I choose navy, light blue, cream and white. I was keen to see how it turned out so I did rush it a bit finishing it in two weeks. I was go8ng to fringe it but then changed my mind, nah should have fringed it. Again I took the quicker way as I wanted to see the finished project.

I have started another so that I can improve on it, it's also a little larger. Blue one is 100 by 120cms. New one is 135 and hopefully to 140 oe 150 and fringed.
