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).
