Knitted Rag Rug

I have made a few rag rugs over the years. Braided, sewn, and finally I knitted one! I love rag rugs because they help me use up small amounts of fabric. For this rug I cut strips of fabric that were 1&1/2 inches wide and as long as my scraps were...

The other fun thing about scraps is that I look at them and remember (for the most part) all the stories of the fabric, where I got it, what projects I've used it in, etc. This one had a lot of black and white because I've been cutting triangles for a black and white quilt.

It's sort of small, but okay for a kitchen sink rug, etc. I'm excited because I got some bigger needles, size 15 which means the next rug will not be so tight to knit. Maybe in 6 months or a year or so I will have enough scraps again to make another one. 

Sunny Days

Hello. It's been a while. I'm trying out a crazy new template for the blog, we'll see how it goes. Part of the reason why I'm not online as much lately is that I'm working... at my job, and on projects.

I finished the Giraffe a while ago... Yay! he's so cute and was fun to make. It took a while to sew together, but I'm happy with him. He's from the Itty Bitty Toys book by Susan B. Anderson.

I have also been sewing and finishing up the Dr. Who Scarf. Please bear with me as I attempt to become more regular at posting!
