Another Absorba

I just finished the Absorba the Great:


I guess you could call it more of a bath rug rather than a bath mat. I just didn't know how big the pattern in the book would come out so small. Luckily it's log cabin and I was able to make it bigger. This has not been blocked.

The rug comes out nice and thick:

Details: Peaches 'n Cream Potpourri double worsted weight yarn on size 15 needles. I didn't bind off as I went, I kept the stitches live (I love my Denise System needles).

Final measurements: 27" wide by 22" high. I knitted 19 strips around the center rectangle.


Comments:
Your rug looks good. What were your final measurements? I can't wait to try this pattern. We could use several around my place. I've been wondering how much shrinkage to expect and whether I should try size 17 needles instead of 15.
 
Wow! It looks great! Congrats on finishing it! Mine's been on the needles for over two months!
