That's right, rug#1 for our charity Rugz4Kidz project has been born. It still has a lot of growing to do, but I'm sure with all the nurturing in the knitting group it will grow up beautiful and warm! My fingers are too sticky to knit tonight after covering our little notebook, but I've done my first bit, so that's okay. The rug will be meeting it's new foster mum (aka knitter!) Helena on Wednesday evening when we plan to have a knitter's supper to hand-over. I am really looking forward to the hand-over as I get to meet up with Helena, and munch on homemade apple pie while we mull over patterns and show off our projects.
It took just over 50gms wool to get the required 7cm. I did the majority in a parallelogram knit/purl pattern so I didn't get lost in so many stitches as I haven't worked with rows that long before, and then finished with a few garter stitch stripes to get the extra distance with some left over yarn. So the rug is officially on the way!
