On our recent road trip over to Western Australia,
I found that the roads were just too bumpy
to stitch in the car. So when we got to Port Lincoln,
I bought myself some wool and a crochet hook.
It had been nearly 40 years since I did any crochet.
I still remembered how to crochet which was amazing.
I checked out a couple of YouTube videos to refresh
my memory on how
many chain I needed to commence
my granny square and also how to join
the squares together.
I also looked up how to do a scalloped edge. It was so easy.
The colour doesn't really show up very well here.
You can see I made it a bit like a quilt
with squares, sashing and borders!
This is the baby rug I made back in 1984.
When I pulled it out I was surprised to see that
I had done a scalloped edge on it!
I really enjoyed making my rug. Pretty sure it's not
going to be another 40 years before I make another one!
