Temporarily I have an on-the-side job where I get to play with the sweetest puppies and help look after them. The house they reside is beautiful. The owners of the place have impeccable taste and in their lounge is this beautiful, bright red flokati rug - at least I’m pretty sure it is. The way it brought the room together in this modernised yet homely way definitely confirmed my love and desire for one, however the price of such a rug is more than I would currently spend on one.

While stumbling through StumbleUpon I found that someone else all the way in Florida had exactly the same thoughts. Here, Laura walks you through a step by step tutorial on how to make an alternative rug which has a similar look but at a more affordable price. I’ve taken on a knitting project recently, making a throw for the couch, as soon as this is done and providing I have no other major projects on, I am definitely keen to give this rug a try :)
