"This sweater was based on a carpet which was hanging on the wall of a meeting room. I was attending a very dull meeting that day, and after much doodling on my notepad and many hours of playing with colours, this design emerged. The colours are not true to the original carpet, rather they are reflective of Waterloo County in the late fall..."
Is this what she saw?
This is my post-steeked, Waterloo County, knit EZ style- in the round, in it's best rug pose. It does indeed look like a rug. A Kilm rug, I would say. (Rug knitting- now that opens up new knitting possibilities.)
Yesterday, my Waterloo underwent the amazing transformation of steeks. From tube, to rug, to a one-sleeved sweater. A picture's worth a thousand words, so take a look.

Beautiful. It reminds me of campfire embers.

You should be happy - Waterloo is just gorgeous!!! I've been thinking of knitting a rug for my room - something round, and very thick and chunky, perfect for a beloved old dog who likes his soft comfy things to lounge on while I'm working at my desk...
Oh yes, I would be happy too! Love those color combos! And steeking is such an adventure.
