I would like to finish my rug
How to finish my latch hook rug
It made me
Feel accomplished 
"Long and mindless, but the end result was fantastic!"
How I did it: I did this at a project for school as we were learning about medieval times in Europe. I came right home from school and just worked away! You do end up sacrificing a ton of time, I spent 21 hours on it in total!! The accomplishment is really worth it and so relieving and you feel amazing. I was thinking how I wont have to nag myself to do it.
Lessons & tips: Set small goals. Finish the flower by the end of the night or start the moon. Things like that.
Listen to music! I find watching a TV show or talking just ends up side tracking yourself.
Count the correct number of pieces of yarn in each colour, for a third of your project. Lay them out in the correct order and just latch away. It's faster then always stopping to get more yarn.

I started mine when my nan was alive. Now she’s gone, I really want to finish it as a memory of her, as she taught me.
About half way done

I have this huge rug I need to finish. It’s about half way done, but one row takes me about an hour. I really want to finish it though. I would like to make the goal of finishing two rows a week at at least. We’ll see my progress.
WOW I really need to do this one

Because I haven’t the time to cut all the yarn I need, the company that made it is long gone and I have too many other things occupying my time. I’ll be back to this eventually…
I don't believe it!

I went to Jo-Ann fabric Friday night and get this – they don’t have bundles of yard. Kits only or yarn I’d have to cut myself and I can’t cut all the white I need with my achey hands. BLAR!! Now I need to hit Pat Catans or another local fabric/craft store…
EDIT: Don tried to surprise me and Pat Catans didn’t have any either. I may have to cut my own… BOO!!
Dang it!

I got a poorly constructed kit and I don’t have enough white yarn to keep going… I’ll have to run to Jo-Ann fabric soon and buy some more. This puts the rug on the back burner and I’ll be working on another creative project to fill the nights.
