Lounge room floor rug

This rug took a long time to make, but it is ready now and it is coming with me to The Glades Moonlight Markets tomorrow, 4pm - 9pm, my very first market stall. VERY EXCITED !!!

This rug is made out of 100 % Indian Cotton and it measures 120cm x 90cm. It is made using a very simple crocheting techniques, so yes it is made with one crochet hook. It is very thick and soft, wonderful to walk or sit on. It consumed 22 meters of fabric, so it is very heavy and very durable. This is the very first rug I made for selling purposes and I am hoping to produce them in a variety of colours. More information  coming up soon.

Looking for inspiration - thinking of my next project

Now that I have finished the rug for Garcelle's room, my mind is wandering again. I love knitting, crocheting, wool, textured materials, raw wood and natural tones. I find inspiration in these over and over again. So, while I am thinking over what to make next, I might leave you all with a couple of images from the amazing home of knitting designer, Ineke Visser, all the way from Finland. This home was featured in ELLE Interior, and the photographer is Morten Holtum.

This is Ineke's production corner

I fell in love with this home as soon as I saw it. It is where natural materials meet and live in harmony. To me it offers tranquility and it is a place where inspiration would come to you naturally.

 Shhhh....

Sunchi B presents her first design - a crocheted floor rug for a little girl's room

The  pink and soft green crocheted rug is now finished. It was so much fun doing a photo shoot in Garcelle's room this morning. The toys on the rug are Garcelle's input. The kids love walking on it, it is so soft and gentle on the feet.

For an up close look, here is a snap shot:
