I have been slowly collecting rug yarn for a while now to make a massive (8′ x 10′) rug for my dining room. Well, I put out a call on Crochetville to all my buddies that I was in the market to buy. I got a huge bundle from my dear friend Krystal to start me off right! Plus, I’ve bought some and been gifted a bit more and was finally able to start this monster project last night!
Here’s some photos….
Here’s the bundle that Krystal send me 
Here’s what it turned into all spilled out…
Here’s everything I’ve collected so far (K’s takes up about 3/4 of this big bag!)…
And here’s the start of the rug…7 1/2 feet wide (folded in half for the photo) and 10 rows of single crochet along…
I’m just using colors at random along with one strand of black worsted weight yarn as a unifier. I think it’s gonna come out really great
Well, I tried to update the content on the home page for HYH but seems I’m still not familiar enough with the Dreamweaver software that Big Daddy says we must use now. I thought I had it down. Really I did. Guess I need another lesson this evening lol.
Remain patient and it’ll get updated this evening, I’m sure. The pattern for the Amish Panel lapghan and a new chart with revised colors for the Desert Star quilt complete with photo will be added.
Thanks for your patience.
Well now let’s at least keep up with what’s going on at the Happy Yellow House. I’ve been working on an Amish style lapghan. I am seriously not liking the colors. But my friend, Krochet Krystal, loves the colors so I’m gonna finish it up and send it to her.
I also have completed a clutch handbag that will have the pattern listed once we’re live again. And another crochet quilt called “Ribbons & Bows”. It’s a spinning spool pattern but I thought they looked like bows, hence the name.
I have also completed a model of the Desert Star quilt in a different color way than the original pattern. Come to find out, they don’t make the colors I used in the design. I really need to make myself a swatch board.
I am also working on another handbag. I am obsessed with handbags. Any type of container really. It’s a sickness, I know. But the new handbag is fighting me a bit so I’ve put it aside for now to concentrate on the Amish lapghan.
That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. As you can tell I’ve been keeping busy!
Have a happy day everyone!
