Rag Rug FO

Woo-hoo! First knitting FO of the year!

~Specs~

Pattern:
"Dizzy Rug" from Mason-Dixon Knitting.

Yarn:
Mystery fabric from Value Village (thrift store) cut into 2 1/2 inch strips

Needles:
10mm straight needles

Pros:
Very easy and quick to knit. This project is a definite plus if you are into instant gratification! I love the end result. It's now sitting in our entrance way in front of our bookshelf.

Cons:
Knitting a rag rug is hard on your hands. The rag/yarn is heavy which makes movement with the needles a tad difficult. Also, instead of showing a contrasting color when stitching the rug together (which is in the original pattern) I opted to seam the rug together so the stitching wasn't visible. I originally had a dark chocolate brown as the contrasting color but decided the rug looked more seashell-esque without the brown.
