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.
