    If you haven't heard this yet today, I love the way you screw things up. You created an entirely different motif, and personally, I'd rather have the afghan made with your motifs. Keep going, gurl, you are fierce!

    I had a rather heated argument with an Australian English professor she said, "rugs belonged on the bed!" I of course argued they belong on the floor.

    Back in the day we Brits would've called a blanket/throw a rug...not as in carpet. I'm not sure we'd have known what an Afghan was apart from a dog with long silky hair!

      blanket/throw is rug like biscuits are scones. different words meaning different things in US v UK English. Just like our crochet stitches.

      And since the 70’s were highly influenced by the Beatles from the 60’s and other British groups & actors, it probably was the popular slang that was used for Afghans.

      If you go back about a hundred years a rug in the US can also mean a heavy lap blanket, like you’d need in a sleigh or open car (automobile).

      Anything rugged we called a rug like a fat chubby coaster for under a pot was called a rug or a thing you put on the side board. . I always thought of it as a rugged peice of something. We had lots of small rugs that got used in lots of different ways and none of them were on the floor expect the parlour rug! The tea pot had a rug under it and it was usually something you wouldn't snuggle up with like a blanket but you moght put it on the sofa at the bakc like an antimackasser ...

    It's so nice to watch you crochet a pattern written by someone with a brain. You were so much more relaxed, and so was I. Don't beat yourself up over the mistake, it was easy to overlook, and the result is still beautiful.

    According to the Oxford English Dictionary- The earliest known use of the noun Afghan rug is in the 1870s. Afghan rug - Any of several types of hand-knotted rug, produced in different tribal nomadic and urban contexts, with repeated geometric motifs. So I guess calling a blanket an afghan is another Americanism? 😃

  • @melissatitus2271
    @melissatitus2271 4 месяца назад +5

    That difference between the dialects can really get ya. It is a blanket, the reference to a rug could also mean a throw or a lap blanket. It’s the British equivalent to a small blanket for your shoulders or to cover your lap/knees.

    I was just waiting for the lightbulb to go on! I too like this pattern but so not a fan of afghans made up of single motifs. I tried back in the late ‘60’s early ‘70’s to make a granny square afghan and gave up when I realized I would have to make 5,761,300 squares (not really quite that many but it was a lot!) and then sew them together. 😉

    “Rug” (I believe) is a UK term for blanket or cover. I listen to a lot of audiobooks set in Britain and have heard rug used when the author was referring to a blanket.

    • @Padraigp
      @Padraigp 2 месяца назад

      I dunno if ireland is the same as UK but anything rugged we called a rug. I always thought that's where the word came from. Like any chubby fat rough thing that wasn't quite a snuggly blanket but a tougher sort of thing could be felt or hessian or under the kettle or on the back of the couch but was rugged. My granny would always get rough bits of yarn or fabric and say they would do for a rug. But apart from the parlour rug none of the rugs we had went on the floor. They were things for the paint stool or a tea tray or anything really. But always rugged like tough ..so I always though rug was short for rugged!

    I absolutely love your work, it‘s always interesting what our forbearers in crochet cooked up.
