I love your rug! Does it turn out thick enough that it would lay flat on carpet? How did you get that pattern with the white yarn?

Yes, It does stay flat on the carpet and on any surface. That’s the great thing about using a board for rug knitting. Because of the double knit it lays very flat. The white stripe is just one row of knitting.

Hi Pat!

The rug looks wonderful!! Is this the one you were working on while at the Red Bud Festival with me? You certainly didn’t have much time to work on it there with everyone asking you questions, but that is a very good thing!

I’ve set aside my looms for a little bit to make a cross stitch picture of my friends first baby. It’s coming along nicely, but for some reason, the colors look darker than what I think they should. I hope I don’t have to do it again, but for this friend, I most definitely will.

Keep up the great work!

Deb

Your rug is very, very nice! Can one of the knifty knitter long looms be used to create a rug and still have the thick, tight weave that you have in yours using a knitting board?

Beautiful work!

I used the 28″ knitting board to make the rug. You can start with any color and then on the row where you want to change color just cut your yarn and tie in another color. It’s very EASY, no sewing involved. I am not too familiar with the knifty kniter. But to give it the nice thick tight stitch you need a knitting board where the needles are close together.
