I am still working on the rag rug. I talked to the blogger who posted the beautiful rug. She used two strands of fabric as one strand of yarn - a 1/2" strip and a 1" strip. No wonder mine was so loose. I started again with my one strand yarn ball using 10mm needles. I think now it seems too tight and I felt like I was fighting with the needles. I am going to try again using 15mm needles. Hopefully my knitting friend will have some to loan me. Wish I wasn't so obsessive. I really need to be finding a pattern for my next Remembrance Quilt. Instead I am fussing over trying to make this rag rug!
