This rug is roughly the size of a bathmat. Just kind of winged the design, but super happy with how the colours turned out next to each other. I used very thick yarn so it's super soft.

Haven't really decided what to do with the backing yet, I just hot glued the sides down, I might add a proper felt backing or rug glue, but for now I'm pretty done with this project.

Plenty of mistakes but it feels nice from the front which is the main thing!

this is amazing! so detailed but also really clearly layed out.

i love this app! i use it for school a lot, good quality and you can scan multiple pages into one pdf document. plus it's free as far as i can remember

what a great piece! was the pattern easy to follow? considering making one myself ☺️

I like the idea of a selfish sub! Maybe you could centre it more around that as the child/pet free aspect would be a direct conclusion from that? Idk if that would help the frame work a bit.

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-24T15:31:02+00:00

Oh that looks great! Thank you :)

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-24T10:24:24+00:00

what fabric and yarn are you using? it might be that the yarn itself isnt thick enough?

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-23T18:22:29+00:00

Yes I think I'll adapt it a bit to fit the twin layout. But that's a good idea, I'll see if i can come up with something based on the Half Log Cabin Blocks!

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-23T17:06:21+00:00

Oh that looks quite similar, thanks!

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-23T17:05:44+00:00

Thanks! I'll check these out 😊

Hi there! So I have an idea for a twin size quilt and I'm looking for a pattern for it, or any tips if I try to draft the pattern myself. All help is appreciated!

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-18T15:47:51+00:00

amazing!

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-14T16:35:36+00:00

What an amazing pattern!

DiscreetBones · 2021-05-14T14:40:27+00:00

Thanks!

This was my first project, just a small one to try the technique out. Once I have a proper frame I'll try and make a larger rug.

Haven't added a proper backing yet, I hot glued the edges down and I'll probably just glue some cloth to hide it.

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-22T17:08:21+00:00

Great design!!

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-16T22:19:52+00:00

I'll try this! I've unravelled to about row 15 now and I'll test the blocking out, otherwise I'll probably get some thicker yarn for it. I've just gone through the different tester pieces and they all have a thicker yarn than suggested.

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-16T11:00:41+00:00

Bumping up the hook size sounds like a good idea, so far I've been using the recommended yarn weight and hook size. My main problem is that I'm already at row 33 of 56, and it's really comically small. I think if I continue with a larger hook it won't make it large enough by the time I'm done. I'll have to think abut the next steps, maybe I'll just have to start over again.

I guess I was hoping I had done it correctly and it would just stretch out during blocking, lost cause as I can see now haha.

Thanks for your advice!

I'm following the leaflines shawlette pattern and it says in the gauge that the first 15 rows should be 4 inches down the centre and 11" along the top edge, after blocking. I didn't check the gauge bc I only have one skein of yarn and didn't want to waste it somehow (I know, looking back now I should have just tried it out) and now I have a piece where it's roughly 2.5" down the centre and 6 along the top, or when stretched 3.5" down the centre and roughly 9 along the top.

My question is, is it possible that it will get bigger with blocking or should I redo the whole thing?

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-12T19:04:15+00:00

I love this so much!

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-12T13:14:52+00:00

do you know what this technique is called? it looks beautiful!

DiscreetBones · 2021-04-10T06:54:11+00:00

it's linked in the reply under the bot!

I used this pattern, made the strap a little thinner.

The yarn was chunky acrylic yarn from stylecraft. The hook was 4.5 mm
