Circle of fun rug
This rug was crazy fun to make. The bands aren't as tedious as you might expect, if you aren't a garter-stitch aficionado. The hardest part was figuring out complementary color combinations. I'm going with just 3 colors for the next one - one main color paired with only 2 others.
You can read my thoughts about this and some other knitting projects at Katzundyarner Bits.
I believe rugs should be machine washable so I made this in the work horse of superwash wool, Plymouth Encore. The yield does not match the original yarn so you will end up with lots extra when using 4 colors; maybe not so much using 3 colors.

It looks great! What yarn did you use and how much? I've been wanting to do one of these, but the recommended yarn was a little pricey for me, and I wasn't sure how much it would take if I substituted. Your's looks fantastic! You should be very proud!
i made almost the identical circle of fun rug too! yours looks great! I used up a lot of stash completing it, my inside colors were dark reds and pink, with two dark bands. I used about three to four strands of yarn held together. my son has it in his college apartment.
