Cardboard Weaving Loom

Hello,

It's so simple.

Materials you'll need:
Cardboard
Ruler
Yarn
Tape
Plastic Knife
Scissors

If these instructions are a little hard to understand, you can find them on youtube by typing "cardboard weaving loom."

Get a piece of cardboard and a ruler. Lay the ruler horizontally around the top edge and mark it however you'd like. I marked mine for every cm. Make sure you do the exact same thing at the bottom. Once it's marked cut slits at the mark, then take your yarn and tape it to the back of the cardboard. After it's taped wrap the yarn through the top and bottom slits. Cut the yarn and tape the ending piece to the back of the cardboard. After that is done wrap yarn in a ball and cut it. Tape one side of the yarn onto a plastic knife and begin to weave.

Doily Rug-Unfinished

It's been a while since I've been on here but I'm back.
I've been working on projects and not completing them due to whatever reason.
One of the most recent projects was a crocheted doily rug that I wanted to make from a pattern called the Manilla Doily. I set the project aside because it was becoming way too expensive with the amount of yarn I had to keep running to the store and buy, and would've been too big for any room in my small apartment.

I was inspired to start on the project by exploring things that I could make. I already knew how to crochet, and had a desire to learn to make rugs, so I figured this would be a great way to create a rug with the knowledge I already had in the craft of crocheting. Little did I know that the rug would expand to be much bigger than what I'd imagined.

I got the pattern from following a tutorial on youtube. His instructions were very easy to follow and I loved that the instructions were visual. The video can be viewed here.

As soon as I saw it I thought *this would be perfect for a rug*...little did I know it would be way too big using the yarn I used, which was the Lion Brand Hometown USA Cincinnati Red yarn.

I had to use about 8 skeins and it still wasn't enough. So this was as much of the project that I could finish. Maybe one day I will revisit it, or atleast figure out how to finish it. We'll see. Oh, and I used a big crochet hook, actually the size that was recommended on the yarn, which was the N-13(9mm).
