Throw rug 104cm x 132cm (41inches x 53inches) in Jet 10ply wool/alpaca using almost one kilo of wool that I bought on ebay some time ago as a discontinued colour. The diamond pattern repeat is 16 rows and has edging of moss stitch. 8 diamond repeats in width and 17 repeats in length.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Squares within squares

This is an experiment with large (33 cm) diagonal knitted squares using left over wool (4 ply and 5 ply). Two colours have been knitted in each striped section to give a variegated textured effect. Not sure where to take this next as a lot more squares required to make this into a bed rug, and have lost the inspiration for knitting more squares at present.
