My First Rug

 At this stage some buckling occurred and I decided to redo the middle.  I ended up removing the center I was sad to see the dark center go, but the rug laid flat when I did so.  I think the problem was how I was adding thread and the tension of the lacing.

This is the finished rug.  I am okay with my first attempt and I do want to make many more rugs.  So I rolled it up to store it.  I will lay it in the kitchen after the floor is painted (hopefully this summer).  I hope to begin another rug soon.  I want to make one for the living room entrance.  I could add more to it if I wanted to. 
I used a pair of my mom's pants to get the dark teal edge.  It is 46 inches in diameter.
I really dig my rug.  It gave me a lot of joy to make it.
