Cuttin' a rug....
okay so here's another question...I am pretty sure i am going to go buy that book i saw with the rug in it because i haven't been able to get it out of my head all week. It is a gorgeous farm scene and being the city livin' farm girl that i am i just can't help but love farm scenes. My question is, could you ever use a rug for its intended purpose after you put all that work into knitting it?

my fear is that i will do all that work and then i won't be able to use it cuz i won't want it to get dirty.

I would say I would be able to.....I have knit several dishcloths that I USE every day, and they get plenty dirty.

Where are you thinking of using it? Maybe next to your bed where there is not much traffic....I know I like a nice soft place to put my feet when I get out bed.

I've been eyeing that rug, too. Looks like fun. Make it out of something washable. You could even Scotchguard it. You'd have to put something non-slip on the bottom unless it was on carpet, though.

If, or when, I get around to making it, I was planning on Encore, also.

i can't remember what it is called right now kelly but it has compiled patterns. i believe this one might have been an interweave. i think i have resigned myself to the fact that i will not be able to survive without it so i will let you know when i go pick it up tonight!
