I am currently working on rug #5. I use circular needles, the weight does give me trouble, having the extra area for the weight to spread out helps me deal with that. I too have trouble with the binding off, especially since I seem to be a tight knitter. A LOOSE bind off is what I try to do.Melodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791186468894470623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-86973639427132036102013-12-10T08:57:55.154-06:002013-12-10T08:57:55.154-06:00Sue,

I really, really want to make one of these and love how yours turned out! I know, it's a scrap rug for heaven's sake, so I should just wing it, but I guess I need specifics! :) Thanks!
