oval kitchen rug

[DesertCrocheter]

Hey all, my first project of the new year was a small, oval kitchen rug I crocheted yesterday out of Bernat Handicrafter cotton twists in blue and white. I want to make the Flower Power one later this year, but the current rug was so gray with age I decided it had to go. Something happened with my improvised rounding increases, so it's a little wonky and wavy, but it does what I need it to do, and I'll stretch it out when I wash it and hopefully smooth some of the waves out of it. Thanks for looking, Patty

That is going to be great to stand on in front of the sink or counter when you are cooking. No cold feet on those floors. I have ceramic tile in my kitchen and the floor is so cold inthe winter. Great job.

That's lovely! Hope it works well.

Great rug, how did you like working with that yarn?

[Tampa Doll]

That is really cool and my favorite color too. How do you keep them from slipping and sliding?

Looks great to me.

It turned out great! I like it. I haven't crocheted a rug in years. I probably should, we have ceramic tile here, too.

Great rug, how did you like working with that yarn?

I've used it to make spiral scrubbies and dishcloths and like it. But then again, I like cotton. I've used the solid colors, which are slightly thicker than the twists. Patty

My favorite color, too! I'm going to get one of those under rug things to cut to size tomorrow at Target. That should work, I think. My mother hasn't slid on it yet, and that's more important than whether I slide on it. And the cats haven't discovered the slide function yet. Patty

You can buy a liquid product to 'paint on' the back to keep it from slipping. You can find it with the latch hook rug supplies at craft stores like Michaels. Or you can sew old fashioned canning jar rings on if you happen to have those sitting around.

That looks nice! I need to make a little rug for my half-bath, to go in front of the basin. Something like yours would do well for me! Oval shape is tricky, I think, though.

Oh I like that and it would go great in my kitchen. The wonky part will work itself out if the cats leave it alone. Did you use a pattern or just make it up. I was thinking about using the double worsted cotton from Peaches and Cream have you tried that?

I really like your rug.

[craziebunny]

Very nice!! I need one in my kitchen!!

[JoBug]

Great job Patty!

[MaryPat]

Nice rug. I like the feel of crochet rugs under my feet. They have more give than the ones you buy for the kitchen.

[happy stitcher]

I love the color!

Enjoy your new rug!

[krazy-kitty]

Nice rug, lovely colour.

[Ldyjarhead]

Looks good to me!

 

I think that's one of the projects I'll tackle when (if?) I get into my house. I think a nice little crocheted rug will be perfect in front of the sink, and maybe in the bathroom.

That looks GREAT! It matches your floor Good job, and it doesn't look wavy from here!

Thanks again, gals, you're too kind! This summer, I want to make one of the Flower Power ones on the Lily website--nice, bright colors! So this was sort of my test rug, to see if I could do one (and bust the stash at the same time). Patty
