My mother at Homemaking Dreams introduced to me this site: Sew Mama Sew, where I found a great blog with a tutorial on making a rag rug, with, um, rags...! I thought it looked really cool and fun and so I tried my hand at it. I thought it was going to be very difficult, but it was exactly the opposite. In fact, it was the easiest project I've ever done that I actually thought would have been incredibly hard. To make the rug I went into my closet and found a few shirts I no longer wear. I bought a size 11 crochet hook, cut up my shirts and made the rug! Because its my first one, and I was just using random materials in my closet, the colors don't really match - at all - but its looks pretty cool I think! Here it is:

That is very nice!!! I thought it would be hard too. would like to try one too! Nice foot too... (grin)
Wonderful rug!!! I so love the colors you used.
How cool is that? I love it! Now that you have the hang of it, won't it be fun to make them in your favorite colors? My Grandma used to make rag rugs and I've always wanted to learn how, too.
It looks even better in real life!
How awesome! Wow! You go!
