    You have no idea. Not only did I buy a new rug, i bought the same rug in different sizes so i could piece them together into one giant rug. It was glorious.

    I'm still proud of it. No one i know cares when i tell them.

    I have a crazy long hallway and found it so hard to get a runner that I love and is long enough. I ended up going with 2. But I wish I had thought of piecing them together and had bought a third one to do so. 2 isn't enough with the way the pattern repeats, and they don't quite cover the entire hallway.

    So I care. I'm quite impressed that you made your mega-rug a reality!

      I have been saving all my leftover yarn for years until I feel like I have enough to crochet a rug with 3 or 4 strands held together. I also am saving worn out fabric like sheets and tshirts to make an eventual rag rug. I just realized over the weekend that one of these types of rugs would work very well in my camper, and I wouldn't need a large one. I have enough scraps saved that I could make it finally!

      Awesome! Are you using old yarn for the warp thread (I always figured warp had to be sturdier than regular yarn), or is it two different projects?

      Are you going for some type of motif, colour gradients or pure chaos?

        Yes but for a good reason; we're waiting until the youngest kid is less sloppy. Old rug we had needed to be removed because of how gross it got after years of first born mess making, so we learned our lesson and are waiting. The anticipation actually makes me look forward to having a rug again.

        You may ask yourself, why do rugs matter? Living room is weirdly shaped so it helps define the space and keeps furniture from sliding around. It helps maintain proper distance of couch to speakers and TV distance. Those who are not excited about a rug simply haven't had to frequently push their couch back into place after it inevitably slides back every time someone gets out of it.

                    No. But I bought a pan (to make authentic tamagoyaki) and am waiting for it to arrive 🙂

                      I was way more excited to buy a cool new rug for my room as a teenager than I am now, the one in my living room is annoying but I'm too lazy to look for a better one. So I don't really understand the concept. I guess I'm "I don't give enough fucks anymore about unimportant shit"-old.
