At least someone appreciates all my hard work. :happy7:
I used to love doing those, and that is a really nice pattern.
Aren't you clever! I tried making one years ago and gave up halfway through.
The pattern makes it interesting to make, one of the things I promised myself when I retired. Just need a big house and a polished wooden floor in the hall to show it off. (Dream on). The first one I made (years ago) when I had a dog and cats, they were very interested and used to sit on it whilst I was trying to make it. I made the first one when children had whooping cough or some infectious illness and I couldn't go out for over 6 weeks.
Lovely rug and lovely cat,
I made a pair in my gap year, they were much cheaper then. Still going strong. I bought them a few packets at a time because I could not afford it all at once, so there is a little variation in colour but it does not notice.
But my mother found I had not got enough to finish and rung them up accusing them of not putting enough in the kit and they sent some extra. It was years before I found out. I thought it was strange I had enough to finish without buying some more.
Its a great hobby for keeping warm since once you have a nice woollen rug on your lap you do not notice the cold, and my room was very cold that winter.
