An Adopted Orphan

The things people throw out is sometimes amazing to us that do craft, but for others are just junk that has to be discarded when someone has to move from their home into care at short notice.

This was the story of one lady that lived in the same complex as one of my stitching friends.  My friend literally retrieved many items from a skip bin, all in their project bags.  Some went to op shops, while others were offered to those of us who may be able to finish them off.

I was happy to take this rug, as it won’t take much to get to size to donate to Wrap With Love.  The crochet has been nicely done.  The rug is already long enough and wide enough with three blocks.  I just have to finish off the three extra squares, do a couple of borders and weave in lots of ends.  The lady has joined the blocks with crochet as she went.  It gives a really nice finish and will now be a new technique for me to learn.  

Hopefully, I will have this completed before long.  I’m sure there is plenty of yarn in my tubs to finish it……of course there is.

There were the start of a few more squares, so they may be the starting point of another rug.
