I've found what I think is the perfect project for me. Rhonda at Down to Earth has invited us to knit along and make a shaker style rug. Perfect - I can use up left over bits of wool, the squares are small so not heavy to knit and you can pick it up and put it down as you please.
I had some purple wool so my first square is purple. I'll embroider a heart on it when I get some red wool.
There was still plenty of purple wool left so the next square is also purple but this time with a pattern in it. And you guessed it another purple square. I've still got enough purple wool left to combine with another colour to make a stripey square.
The patterned squares will add some texture to the finished rug and let me practice some new patterns.
Happy knitting,
Lynda

Hi Rhonda
I would like to join the knit in group. I would like to try the shaker throw.
Does it matter what weight the wool ie would uk double knitting be appropiate.
Also how can I obtain other patterns for the squares
Thanks Dolores
