It's DONE!! [View all]

After I was 2/3 finished with this thing three years ago, I recently tore out the lacing and relaced most of it and then finished braiding and lacing up the rest of it.

The rug is done! Needs some blocking but that's next week when the weather is warmer and I can take it outside to mess with it.

It contains three complete Army blankets most of a blanket of the other colors, 100% wool braiding, 100% cotton lacing.
