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!
