    <content type="html">Final rug, I swear! This one I made during lockdown, for my bedroom.

    <content type="html">Another rug I made, this one in 2018. Ridiculously colourful as whoever decorated my flat had an obsession with beige (though they’ve added some browns &amp; whites for ‘variety’) &amp; I needed to cancel the blandness out. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4dfbccbc485e6b34df871b2d9743f388/tumblr_pehq8prcmY1r82tcro6_1280.jpg" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thispatternismine.dreamwidth.org/35993.html#cutid1"&gt;Progress pics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/d39f7a9fb501dfc92ff0b73eb3888fa7/tumblr_pehq8prcmY1r82tcro1_1280.jpg" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I actually kept note of time &amp; materials on this one.

&lt;p&gt;I bought the canvas for cheap on ebay &amp; started work on the border more than a year before I did anything with it. Then I got a VR headset &amp; decided I needed something to mark a play area so I didn’t wander too far &amp; trip over the coffee table or some shit. And that gave me the kick up the arse I needed to start working on it again, &amp; after a year of no progress I finished it in two months. I also had to ship the wool from Germany because Hobbycraft stopped selling it after I'd bought my first batch &amp; I wasn't going to undo all my work up to that point.

&lt;p&gt;Dimensions: 2m x 90cm

&lt;p&gt;Materials: 38 balls of &lt;a href="https://www.myboshi.net/wolle-mehr/wolle-kaufen/myboshi-no-1.html"&gt;MyBoshi No.1&lt;/a&gt; (196 Schwarz x 5, 163 Violett x 3, 159 Saphir x 3, 150 Wolke x 3, 158 Meerblau x 2, 184 Neongrün x 3, 113 Lowenzahn x 4, 181 Neonorange x 3, 132 Signalrot x 3, 135 Bordeaux x 3, 162 Magenta x 2, 142 Rose, x 2, 161 Candy Purpur x 2)

&lt;p&gt;Approx cost of materials: £155 (not counting €20 or so for the final 2 batches of wool)

&lt;p&gt;Time: 121 hours&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thispatternismine&amp;ditemid=35993" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">While digging through my Tumblr to find old posts I made so I can post them here so I have a sort of online mirror of my Tumblr posts, I remembered I'd posted about some rugs I made

&lt;p&gt;First an awesomely hideous rug that I finished towards the end of 2015. Mostly done freehand (though I plotted out a pattern for the wavy interweaving lines) &amp; making it up as I went along.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/58ea0bf50fbb0a6e53bd601754a715f3/tumblr_nyue6k0Fam1r82tcro1_1280.jpg" width="100%"&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://thispatternismine.dreamwidth.org/35753.html#cutid1"&gt;Detail shots under cut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Design loosely based on this one:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/94ff8c359e2d275d3311432edd130de7/1bf4ba3748e112c7-a0/s500x750/3b26b650936ee1470c55f20c5df0aa0059e8874a.jpg" width="100%"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not sure how long it took me to make, but I was doing an &lt;i&gt;Elementary&lt;/i&gt; rewatch while making it &amp; I got through several seasons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thispatternismine&amp;ditemid=35753" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
