Hookin' Bigtime

So there's this crochet idea I've wanted to try forever, but just haven't gotten around to it. I wanted to make a rag rug with thrifted sheets and a big fat crochet hook. Look at how enormous this hook is! It's like crocheting with a baseball bat! But it's almost too small for the rags I'm doing. I think I will go 1/2 or 3/4 inch next time around. And with this much faster method of cutting yarn strips.

Oh, and my GOODNESS my face looks ROUND! I've always had a really round, Danish face, but my hair or something makes me look like a circle today!


Here's the progress so far...
The outside is navy, and that white strip actually has these cute little tiny polka dots. Lucy has been enamored with carpets lately, presumably because of church and story hour, so I figured I'd make this one for her, as I'm sort of just learning anyway. Then I thought, hey, this can also be her "Naughty Mat." Mwaaah ha ha ha! Crafting for punishment! Is that evil crafting?
