Doily Rug

After finally mastering crocheting, which is slowing becoming more of a favorite hobby than knitting, I got a little excited about it. I've started a granny square blanket and endless amounts of slouchy hats, but best of all I started making these huge doily rugs.

I first saw a woman do this by using her hands and rope to crochet. She was selling them for over a thousand dollars. Naturally my next thought was, "Challenge accepted." 

You can buy chording at just about any fabric store. It costs about $50 a spool. And one spool will yield one rug. Which is a great deal. I also bought the largest crochet needle I could find (like size U). 

It only took about 5 or 6 hours total to complete. I can't wait to have it in my dorm room! Annnddd I might start selling these! So look out Etsy!
