First FOs of 2006!

First up is the mitred square rug made with Phentex from the stash. I just have to get some of that non-skid stuff to put on the back. I'm making another one since I still have some Phentex left and am adding some other polar weight scraps, so it will be more scrappy.

Pattern: none, basic mitred squares
Yarn: double strand of Phentex, 8mm needles.
Notes: This rug is for the laundry room. I've added boots to the pic for scale.

Pattern: Whitby by Nancy Bush from "Knitting on the Road"
Yarn: Briggs & Little from stash, unknown because label is lost, but a light worsted/dk weight. 2.75mm needles
Notes : followed the pattern exactly. Easy pattern to memorize, the B&L yarn is somewhat rough to work with but I've used it for socks before and will soften after washing.
