This week I decided to make a rug! Last week I finished my pink scarf so I decided to make something new and different. I have never knitted a rug so this pattern by the Purl Bee is perfect. For the yarn, I am using Martha Stewart's Roving Wool the yarn is pretty and I hope will work well for a rug.
I have also finished the book Lady Susan by Jane Austen. The book reminded me of a old fashioned gossip novel! I know it sounds weird, but the book is written in the form of letters and each character would be "writing" in some way about Lady Susan. Lady Susan wasn't my cup of tea, but I finished it! Now I started Persuasion which is much better for me!
What are you knitting or reading?
I think that is going to be one awesome rug! I've never made one either but never say never :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your rug! What a great idea. I love your blog and the name of your blog is perfect. What a clever blog name!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteWill need to check out the rug! I have several spools of mop yarn I would like to use.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your finished rug....what fun!!!
ReplyDeletePersuasion is my favorite! I hope you enjoy it. Your rug looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love that you decided to knit a rug, I've never knit one either, or should I say Yet? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat color and I think the roving will make a great rug, it is so soft.
Persuasion is great! I started on Lady Susan but didn't have time to read it now so put it away for another day, it was strange to me to see it written in letter form. I think you described it well though-very gossipy. I read that she actually wrote the first draft of Sense & Sensibility in the same form. Good thing she changed it! I like working with that yarn!
ReplyDeleteYou are reading Persuasion! It is my absolute favourite. I have knitted rugs before, they are so lovely and squishy to stand on!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern- beautiful. That takes quite a bit of patience.
ReplyDeleteHappy Knitting.
What a great idea - I have never knit a rug before. I bet it's going to be super soft.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of that yarn. It will make a pretty rug.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I love the color you've chosen!
ReplyDeleteKnitting a rug is an excellent idea - it'll be great to see how how it turns out :)
