Goodbye wisdom teeth!

It's been a while, but I've been keeping busy! Last week I got my wisdom teeth out and while taking it easy for three days I got a lot of knitting/crocheting done. There was something about not really being able to eat or talk that made knitting even more enjoyable. I started off knitting for a day and a half. I've been in the mists of my first sweater the entire summer and finally got all the actual knitting done. It isn't really piecing together the way i wanted, and it's acrylic so I can't really block it very much. I'm just glad I used cheap yarn :)

After being disappointed with all that time wasted I grabbed my crochet hook. When I move out in a week I'll have a bedroom with hardwood floors (which is very exciting!) and I figured I would need a rug so I started working on this. It's just a huge granny square with fancy edging. The nice part was getting all of the square done in two days since I had nothing better to do. i was a little unsure about how it would stick to the floor but I put some of that tulip fabric paint on the back and it really does stick! I'm kind of surprised..

The ruler in there is 2 feet for scale. The next pic shows what I meant with the fabric paint.

I hope it goes well with my dresser/lamps from my last post!
