Do you have a surplus of hand spun yarn? I do, and I hesitate giving it away since it took so long to spin using a spinning wheel. Some of the yarn is small amounts left over from a project, other amounts are spinning experiments, and some yarn is from the end of the bobbin(s). To make the rug, I cast on approximately 125 stitches, using 3 strands of yarn, and a 14" size 10 pair of knitting needles. As I run out of one yarn, I added another yarn from my stash. There really is not a gauge.
My finished size is about 21 inches by 29 inches. Any size of rug will work fine. I still have more yarn surplus and I am debating if I make a table runner, or maybe a set of place mats. I think the rug turned out very well and the colors are great!
