Cabin Rug Reviewed by Lisa Christianson on 2009-09-10
This pattern is not appropriate for a beginner. I would rate it intermediate. Bringing in different colors at different times is tricky and the directions were quite vague for a beginner who had never added yarn before. It turned out o.k. My second one should be better. To simplify the adding of yarns, an experienced knitter friend of mine advised me to buy more balls of yarn, so I did not have to cut them so often. I did, and it was worth the extra money.
