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!
Thanks so much for sharing my rug and your kind words. Very exciting to see my project on Craft Gossip!
I am always thrilled to be able to share fantastic crochet work. Yours is special!
