first rug I made

You certainly did a very good job! Very nice, indeed. :yes:

Nice job!

Beautiful rug, worth all that work!

Well done! I'm working on my first rug and it is just covered in mistakes. I'm just hoping since it is so small and will be covered partially by furniture it will not be too noticeable because they are soo much work. Yours is beautiful.

Thank you for all the compliments. The first attempt of this rug was thrown away. I used 28 count & couldn't see it. Then I did not like the colors as I was doing it. I began to hate the rug, so I went to 22 count & changed the color scheme. Amazing how a change like this can make such a big difference.

I had to redo my first attempt at mini needlework, too - 32 count - then I bought some cheapy readers. Amazing what a difference when you can see!!!

I love the colors you've chosen! Nice work!
