I've completed my Absorba and I'm wondering what the other proud Absorba owners have used to keep it from being a slipping-accident-waiting-to-happen? A standard hard surface rug mat? Were there any moisture issues with that? Or did you treat it with rug backing like for latch-hook rugs? Ours will reside on bathroom grade floor tile (not the linoleum pictured).

It is currently in use and every bit as squishy-soft as the pattern claims!

Specs: I have included my ladies size 10.5 feet in the photo for scale. I used a hodge-podge of yarn...this was a stash-busting project. I used 5 strands of worsted weight cotton--2 strands Peaches & Cream cream color, 1 strand P & C white, 1 strand Sugar & Cream white, and 1 strand white-ish recycled yarn from my cotton sweater from a mass retailer I will call O.N. # posted by Jourdans @ 6:39 PM I really do not have a problem with my two rugs sliding away on our tile floor. Your Absorba looks good. Debbie : 4:06 AM

Mine is on ceramic and doesn't slide much either. Stephanie B. : 5:38 AM

If you go to Target or Walmart or whoever, you can get that spongy, foamy shelf liner in that sort of waffle pattern. (Could I be more vague?) It's the shelf liner that you put under glasses or mugs. Works great. I have the same problem in my bathroon. This will solve that problem. Meg : 6:24 AM

What Meg said. Love the rug. Did it hurt your hands to knit it? LisaK : 1:27 PM

I, too (I neither?) have had no problem with a sliding Absorba...thing's too effin' heavy to slide (love yours, by the way).
