Ragged But Rugged

http://www.dreamalittlebigger.com/post/upcycled-linens-crochet-rag-rug-tutorial.html

Well, this rug isn’t actually ragged.  It’s just made in the style of a Rag Rug which makes it rugged, for sure.  What I like about this project is that it not only uses recycled thrift store sheets but also emphasizes the make-do attitude of the crocheter who, having discovered that she doesn’t have enough material in the sheets she just purchased, digs out some others from a cupboard, dies them, and creates a rug that probably looks better than it would have with only her original sheets.

I like the thriftyness of the project.  I like Allison’s creativity and her excellent tutorial.  I like everything except what those fabric strips would do to my wrists.  But, if that isn’t a problem for you, this project will be a winner.  I can just see the run on sheets at thrift stores all over the country.  Watch out!
