Its Finished

This is the finished article and it doesn't "litter" at all, I hope they like it I will pop it over to them this week.

As you can see from the back it is no longer round as it started out but I don't think that will matter. Now I need to decide what to do next.

Almost finished

As you can see this is now taking shape. Every other set of rows is white and I have used pink/maroon for some rows and lilac for some rows. As the rug is taking shape you cannot see that the snips have been knotted.

 This is the back of the rug and gives a clearer picture of the amount of rows I have chosen to do in each colour. Nearer the centre of the rug you can see some holes in the hessian as I made a row and then I took it out as I changed my mind. As I fill in this area the holes will all close as the rug is finished so no harm done.  I decided to stop going around in a circle and fill the centre using white and maroon snips randomly.

I have decided to go across the centre as I thought this would help to disperse the bulk of fabric that has "bagged" at the centre.

My Rug is taking shape

With these rugs you can  choose your own pattern and how thick you want the pile to be so you decide where to put the rag. You put the tool into the hessian, clip the rag and pull through then either knot your rag or leave it and go onto the next one.

My rug is taking shape or rather changing shape! Although it started out round it has changed shape slightly which has never happened before. I presume it is because I am going around in a circle and as I am going around it is distorting the shape. The hessian is also "bagging" towards the centre so I am not sure how this will affect the finished article. As I am getting nearer the centre it is quicker to peg around the rug which is nice. I have decided on my pattern as I have  gone along and have chosen to use white after every group of coloured rows.
