I started red placemats yesterday. I had some errors so I unravelled, but I'll try again. I got the idea from here. Your multi-colored ones look so nice! I couldn't find you on the web last night bc I forgot your name. Glad I bookmarked you on this computer. love the placemats. :)

Glad you found me! Good luck on the placemats...
Love these placemats. I'm thinking of using 2 stands of the yarn for extra thickness - like a hot pad. Can you think of anything I may need to adjust in the pattern?
I love these placemats. What do you think about using a double strand of the yarn for more thickness? Any thoughts on what I might need to adjust in the pattern?
Vicki, I think you can double the strands, but go down a size in the needles to keep the dimensions. Let me know how this works for you!
