Just thought I would pop in with a quick ta'da.
My NY resolution was to use yarn in my stash, instead of buying more, in an attempt to save some money. Over the last few nights I have been rummaging through my yarn stash looking for inspiration.
I finally found some Hayfield Bonus Aran which I bought years ago and never used. Now this stuff is 80% acrylic and 20% wool, not what I would usually go for, and hence why it has been ignored, but I thought I would give it a go and see what happened.
So, with no real project in mind, I sat myself down with a cup of tea and reruns of 'Bates Motel' and started to happily hook away.
Before I knew it I had made a lovely Granny circle. I had doubled up the yarn and used a size 10 hook so progress was super fast. With just one 'pull back' during the whole project I went to bed knowing that there was a lovely crochet rug waiting for my little toes this morning.
It's really soft and cosy underfoot I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. I think I'll pop this one in my living room and hook a blue one for under my crochet chair, what do you think?

I think it is gorgeous Emily! What a lovely idea! I have been thinking of crocheting a rug for my 10 yo DD's new bedroom so your post was very timely. I have some Panda Zoomy which is about 14 ply and so soft. I am a bit worried it may not sit flat - guess I'll just have to just give it a whirl and see how it goes.
