Artful Mondays: Crochet Rug!!

So I've never done a rug before. But the latest issue of Crochet Today has this really neat cute rug. I decided on a few color changes, but I really wanted to try it. It might not even be used as a rug, I could even hang it up as a wall piece or something interesting like that.

I began to stitch it up. I will admit, I failed completely on a stitch count, I was putting all my double crochets in the wrong stitches in a certain round, and I even forgot which row I was one after picking it up from putting it down for a bit. All this led me to taking it apart and restarting it.
It doesn't look how the picture looks like, but I think that's the colors not showing some of the stitches shapes. So far I like it :D Not the greatest photo as the lighting in my apartment at night is not nearly as nice as sunlight.

Only half done, with a really nice grey to make it bigger to come!

Latah Daze!
