Last night, I stumbled upon the Ravelry page for Absorba, The Great Bathmat and something snapped in me. I just had to knit it. It didn’t matter that I didn’t have the yarn or the book containing the pattern. So, I jumped in the car and headed to Michaels and came back with this:

I’m knitting with 3 strands of Sugar N Cream held together on size 15 needles. Needless to say, this is a fast project. Since I don’t have the actual pattern, I’m just ad-libbing the log-cabin technique. Maybe not the best idea, since my colors are coming out kinda wonky:

But, meh, who cares? It’s a bathmat. My current bathmat is kinda disgusting, so anything will be an improvement.
