WIP Wednesday: A Rug for Line-Drying



It's Work-In-Progress Wednesday, and I have started a new variation on the Tarnation Rectangle Rug. When I realized that the pattern produces a rug that has to be machine-dried after laundering, I decided to try the pattern with all sc instead of sc-bl. I still like the sc-bl version better, because it's softer and the color changes aren't as "toothy," but this one promises to be good in other ways.

  1. I've been enjoying your series on tarnation rugs - would help if I could crochet and knew what sc and sc-bl means though! I'm guessing single crochet and single crochet back loop?!

  2. pinkundine: You are quite right. Sorry, I didn't make that clear. Sc=single crochet and sc-bl=single crochet in the back loop.

    Single crochet in the front or back loop creates a much more flexible fabric than regular single crochet. You should try crochet out. With these rugs, the stitches are super-easy.

  3. Maybe this will be the pattern that motivates me to finally learn to crochet!

  4. Your rugs have been all really awesome. I don't crochet but I have a friend who does. Maybe I should get her to make one for me. Hope to see this one finished.

    See you next time.
