Crab Crawl Finish For A Hooked Rug

 

I've been busy hooking, punching, and doing a little applique!

 

I thought I would share with you how I am finishing this rug.  The actual hooked rug pattern is by Laurie of The Wooly Red Rug.   She has some really awesome rug patterns to chose from!

 

Now on to how I am binding this rug.... First you will want to  single crochet all around the rug making sure to add 3 to 4 single crochets in the corners  then came back over the top of the single crochet with a crab crawl stitch. 

 

I used an F size crochet hook and some of my hand dyed 4 ply wool yarn "warm browns" and it gives it a nice rope twist look on top! 

If you are wondering about the noise in the background :) Sloan was busy coloring!

 

Just another way to finish a hooked rug.

*A WHITE BLANKET*

Oh what a delight not to have ice for a change but a white blanket of snow is covering most everything. The roads are still in good condition as the snow continues to fall. I love watching the snow fall just wish the flakes were bigger. I know everyone else is dreaming of spring but I like the snow. Living in Oklahoma all of my life there has been many winters without a single snowflake where I live. I like how it changes everything to make it seem so much more peaceful.








As you can see I've been addicted to rughooking lately. I wanted to try my hand at a few signs and think that I like the look and I even got out of my comfort zone and tried different background colors. Today I'm working on a hand applique wool block every once in a while I just want to sit and work with a needle and thread!

Well back to stitching hope your finding a little time in your busy day to do something you love!
