The rug is off the loom! I reapeat the rug is off the loom!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a long history of starting a project and not finishing. This can become problematic. So in an effort to better myself, be a better example to my children and generally get rid of a mass amount of clutter, I have been very diligent in finishing projects. This includes new ones and ones that have been sitting in my "closet of doom" for a year (or two).

I am happy to announce the finishing my first knitted rug! It has been a long process of starting, stopping, and starting over. This rug began as an I cord rug knitted on my "knifty knitter" loom. After many attempts of lacing the cording together, I still could not get the tension right. So I changed direction.
I tore out all the I cord, re- wrapped each ball of yarn and decided to make a double knit rug on my loom instead.

I used yarn that I purchased for $1 a bag at a book sale. Although, I did need to buy 1 skein of blue to finish the rug off so overall I used 7 skeins of yard and spent $3.25 on the entire project. Plus I used up some yarn.

This rug is going to be used in front of my childrens' bunk bed, when the get a bunk bed that is!


I hope you enjoy!
