I'm making progress on my krokbragd rug. Last night I completed a single run of the color pattern, so from here on it's just a matter of repeating it until I get a 36 inch rug.

This kind of weaving is pretty slow going. A complete 1 1/8" colored row (like that light brown section near the top) takes me about 1.5 hours to weave.

@kyle That looks FANTASTIC. Great job :D

Will those be on sale on the @purism store? :p

@fssofdeath Thank you!

Heh, I'm pretty sure no one would pay what I would actually charge for a rug like this, given the immense time and effort involved. At my current rate of progress I expect to finish this rug some time in February. I now understand why nice rugs are so expensive!

@kyle I am willing to bet you'd sell some but probably not many. A great rug is fantastic though, it ties a room together.

@kyle sounds about right. Knitting a shawl once the rows get long can take an hour each.
