Lion Brand Notebook ®
Recently I saw this photo of artist Christien Meindertsma‘s giant knit Aran Rug. It struck me as a beautiful and unique way to incorporate yarncrafts into your home — and I hope you find it as inspirational as I do.
I’m not sure that I have needles quite big enough for a rug, but I bet you that with Speed Stix and three strands of Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, I could make a small rug or a throw. If you’re also inspired by Christien’s piece, take a look at the Diamonds and Pearls cable pattern or the Hourglass cable pattern in our StitchFinder for similar cable patterns to try out.

Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that the link and photo isn’t working. I’d love to see them though
Zontee says: Hi wintermyst, the photo and links are working just fine over here. Perhaps you tried to load them at a time when our web servers were down momentarily, but everything’s up and running now.

The link does not work–
Zontee says: Hi Aquila, as far as I can see, all the links are working correctly. You probably looked at it when there was a disconnection with our web server, but everything’s up now.

Not able to open the links.
Zontee says: Hi Hope, I just tried all of the links and they all work. Please try again.

I can’t see the linked photo either. There is an X in the corner box. Perhaps it’s firewalled (I’m at work now).
Zontee says: Hi Grace, you’re probably on Internet Explorer — it didn’t seem to like the color encoding on the photo, but it’s fixed now, so you should be able to see it.

I can see it !! Very cool. I think I’ve seen this before. I love the idea of a knitted rug. One of my guy friends has a rug that looks like stockinette. Aside from catching crumbs in all the nooks, his rug is very comfy. This would be a great idea for a bath matt…. multiple strands of Natures Choice Organic Cotton and speed sticks.

I still can’t open this link. I would really like to see it.
Zontee says: Hi Shirley, do you mean you can’t see the photo? All the links are working; just click on any of the highlighted text.
