Rug Making 101

Filed under: String Theory — Super Monkey @ 4:38 pm

Before making a crocheted rug out of super chunky yarn, measure the clearance under your bathroom door.

It dunt fit.  :(  Bugger.

This fits though.

It’s the exotically named 109-3 jacket in ‘Alaska’ with cables, raglan sleeves and hood from Drops.  I don’t know how they come up with these names, I really don’t.

Because the yarn was all so cheap, I thought I’d buy two cardie’s worth at once and have a nice purple cardie for home and a nice blue one for work.  The other cardie uses two different yarns and while one of them turned out to be the exact blue it was in the photo, the other one is a quite decided purple, so my nice blue cardie is turning out to be a questionable mottled cardie.

At least I’ll have something to wear when I have my temper tantrum on my ill fitting rug.
