I'm thinking of stitching a second one when I get this one completed. I switched needles last week because the size I was using was absolutely horrible for the strand amount and the size of fabric, but at the time it was all I had on hand. So I want to see if using this new size from the beginning will look better.
I really like the zig zag pattern in the center of the rug. It's fun to stitch and just looks cool.
Here's hoping the new needle makes for much faster work on this piece. I'll post more soon, I hope.

I really like it Kat. The zigzag motive is really cool.
That is one beautiful rug!
It looks great Kat.
I can't sew to save my life so can't help you with the needle problem though.

I could never take this on. Its such a detailed task and my stitching is not that great. I'd end up with a lumpy and bumpy rug with all the threads being a mess at the back.
I've been stitching a cross stitch for over 11 years now and still only on the first quarter.
Now i've thought about o'll have to hunt it out and start stitcjing again.
Keep up the good work!

Wow, and I really mean wow, MK. I am just about to finish my rug and that's why I know how amazing your stitching are!! Shucks, mine looks even worse now
I love the pattern! You are doing /a beautiful job! I really must get back to mine! I 2 rugs going now, one in cross stitch and one in needlepoint! I'm not sure which I like better! But needlepoint in much faster! LOL!
