As you can see, I am a couple of months behind with my
challenge reports due to our road trip to the Kimberley.
Project # 1 was the July project.
I changed my project #1 to work on my road trip rugs.
I originally had making some tea towel aprons on my list
but that wasn't going to work while I was away.
I am lucky that I can crochet in the car and driving over
10,000kms gave me a lot of time to work on my rugs.
Although it looks black, it is actually navy.
I was hoping to finish my navy blue and white rug
but I was one ball of navy wool short.
I had also taken wool to start another rug on the trip.
A much prettier one this time.
I made a rectangle granny instead of square.
This is more true to the colours.
My project #3 was to work on my much
neglected Tilda hexagon quilt.
We arrived home from our trip 2 days before
I was to head off to NOTYQ retreat.
Just enough time to unpack,
do the washing and repack for retreat!
When I got back to Victoria I was able to get to Spotlight
to buy some more wool to finish the navy rug.
I had also decided to make the rainbow rug a bit bigger
and needed to get another ball of that as well.
So both rugs were finished at retreat,
along with stitching more hexagons together.

Two lovely rugs, especially the pretty one. Those hexies look pretty too.
That’s great you can crochet as Noel is driving . You managed to get lots done and both rugs look lovely.
The Tilda hexies are pretty.
Lovely rugs. The hexie EPP project is looking good.
Lovely work on the crochet rugs. Grat to have those as a travel project.
The hexies are looking good, too.
The rugs are both beautiful Christine, great you can do that in the car. Your hexies are very pretty too. Hope you had a great time at retreat.
