I love the mat love it

I'm looking forward to trying this pattern. There were comments made on here about the colour scheme, however you can do the colours anyway you want to match your bathroom. I can't stand store bought mats.

the pattern does not say what kind of yarn to use, wool? acrylic? worsted weight? sport? bulky?

I don't think the comments section is for you to comment on your own personal tastes. It is to comment on the project overall. Just because you don't like it doesnt mean every one doesnt.

The pattern is helpful but the way the stripes and such are done is unattractive. A new color scheme with different presentation would make it more appealing
