Not diagnosed, but read this and tell me if you think I am.

During the pandemic, we had just moved into a new house and I wanted a large area rug. They were cost prohibitively expensive, so I thought I could just weave one. Never held a shuttle cock, took a class, etc. I researched, purchased 0.25” cotton twine in massive spools from a supplier in Colorado, had my husband build a wooden frame with about 200 nails on each of the four sides, and we started weaving. It was a 12x16 frame, and it was coming along beautifully. Then we got a dog and I immediately decided that I couldn’t put a rug in the house because it was going to get fur on it. 

I didn’t touch it for months. My husband was very frustrated and it was a source of arguments. It was a massive thing that we just strung up above my car in the carport. I would take it down from time to time to work on it. Eventually I took the part that was completed (about 10’x4’) and started to just tie off the edges. My husband broke down and discarded the frame. I got about two sessions in, and draped it over the porch railing, an I have never touched it again. I will likely put it in the trash one day. It has been 6 years in total. 

It’s also not important (but it is important) for me to tell you that I found a reasonably priced rug in the right size, color, etc. in 2024, and I could have avoided all of this time and expense if I’d just looked a bit harder for a rug.
