For a while now, I have been planning to crochet a floor matt. Why not now. A new project that I can complete in a short time, and the bonus is using materials I already have at hand.

Needlework Tuesday - Experimenting with Yarn
Winter is still holding us within it's icy grip and I'm getting tired of being kept indoors. Yes, I know, I can bundle up yet again and head outside, keep my chin tucked in and trudge along in heavy boots. That's not what I want. I want sun and warmth and new life in the yard and skies. Not happening. I guess I need to make my own newness.
For a while now, I have been planning to crochet a floor matt. Why not now. A new project that I can complete in a short time, and the bonus is using materials I already have at hand.
I started with a doily pattern called "Morning Mood" by Masumi Pechet from Magic Crochet Magazine June 1988 Number 54. I used two strand of chunky weight yarn(less than 800 grams) and a 7 mm hook.
Needlework Tuesday is a fun time to get together with my friends and share our various needlework projects and to gather inspiration for our future ones. I enjoy visiting with each of you and you really do help to nudge me along toward completing the many items I start. You are welcome to grab a copy of the cute little Mouse and add her to your post. Mr. Linky is below waiting for your link. Please leave a comment and I'll be sure to visit with you.
I started this on Saturday and was able to finish it late Monday evening. It only has 16 rounds. Measures about 30 inches across. I don't know where I'll use it, but it will find a place in my house, possibly on one of those cold tile floors (as long as it doesn't slip and slide around under foot.

What a beautiful floor mat! I love the creativity of using a doily pattern to make a rug. I'm now picturing a red mat for my kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, Heather. I love doing projects that can be completed quickly. It doesn't give me enough time to get bored with it. ;)
I, too, have been doing some crocheting.
I love being able to make something with supplies I have on hand. It feels good to use something up that's been sitting around for awhile. Unfortunately for me, that's a rare occurrence and I end up accumulating more cr*p.
Have a great week.
