Did you rip all the clothes and then knit the rug with the wool?
Well done. Clever you. Must have taken time.

Marie Lee 10-04-2010 02:12 PM

thnks.
i cut strips and used these strips to knit the rug.

Great, looks really good. You must have the patience of a cat to have cut all those strips.

the rug
 
hi Marie Lee,
Lovely rug, I love the colours and the texture, your daughter must be delighted. i was wondering how you knit it, did you knit separate squares and then sew them all together, and crochet the white around the edges or how did you do it?
I'm thinking of knitting some small blankets and rugs myself soon, and your one caught my eye.
regards

Well Done, it is really beautiful Regards Jane

yes i did separate squares and crocheted these together and then crocheted edges. but its easier to knit it in one piece.
