apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

If anyone can locate such a thing as a list of stockists and prices on the FLOCKS website ... you're a better man than I, and please speak out as to how you did it!

Rugs are made to order:

The poufs were discussed here:
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/seating-benches-stools/flocks-pouf-at-design-within-reach-035445

They were $800 - $1,600

So the rug would probably be around $5,000-$10,000 depending on size.

Re: the rug. It is going to curl on the sides due to the nature of the reverse st st. It needs garter stitch on the sides.

JoJenks, you might also try searching for:
knitted cable throw
and then using it as a rug, if you like the look.

Here are some results from NexTag:

This nice Ginger-colored Alpaca throw at Novica is only $129.95

the ones at Garnet Hill are quite nice:

Realize that this kind of thing will definitely snag. No claws. No high heels. And you certainly can't run a vacuum on it.

I wonder how big a knitting needles I'd need for that....real cute though.

What's up with the British spelling of the word "color" on AT lately? Will I become fancier if I start spelling it that way too?

A.meyer, I am originally from Canada and that is how I spelled colour for years. I often fall into that habit when I have been reading other sites that USE that spelling. And that is easy to do these days, with all the sites, like I just posted this link:
http://www.farrow-ball.com/categorylist.aspx?cid=WPA&language=en-GB

That's their spelling. But I have spell check that tells me that I am not correct. Spell check doesn't like centre either.

If any of the people here on AT pick up the way I do, they probably spell it as they have just read it.

Ditto for sentence structure. People will pick up different sentence structure from doing a lot of reading of a particular kind.

It is particularly apparent with kids and the text messaging. Shortening words as much as possible.

The Internet has it's own language too, with the emoticons. Symbols replacing facial expressions.

Spend enough time reading e.e.cummings and you'll never use the shift key again:

Or read about Haiki, write some, and then I found myself doing my grocery list in Haiku. I was thinking in Haiku. Talking in Haiku. Everything was thought about before it was spoken, and it all had to come out in the 5-7-5 structure.

I'm Aspie, so I do stuff like that, but it's just exaggerated in me and I am aware of it...I think other people do it, but it's much more subconscious and they aren't always aware of it.

Love the pouf. Placing furniture on the rug in the photo would be next to impossible to get a level surface not to mention the issues with snagging and tripping. No thanks.

This seems really impractical. I have a dog, so this would never work for me.

to the comment about the knitting needles... there's a picture on the website of the knitting process... http://www.theseflocks.com/carpet_03.html

maybe you could just use two flagpoles... hahaha
