The "Blue" Rug

I decided it was long overdue to make my gorgeous son Harry something knitted and as he doesn't "do" knitted garments, what better than a rug to make.

So this is the progress of the rug from beginning to end....

Harry had full choice of yarn so we co-ordinated with his room colour

I picked up 199 stitches and then made a moss stitch 10 row panel to join the panels and edging

I love the cable design close up

The reverse middle panel which has a lovely 3d effect

Proudly added to Harry's room along with his favourite "cuddly" toy

First trip of the year to Slimbridge

Around Slimbridge are amazing Lego sculptures. Unfortunately it was overcast day, but still love to get out in nature. There is always beaut...
