rug doilies

Anna Maria, try looking at www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich . The doilies and other projects there are all for thread, but I've done a few of them in fine yarn to make throws and cushion covers, so I should think that if you used thicker yarn and a larger hook you could make some nice rugs. Thanks Sue! I checked and found some interesting ones... My friend Anna Maria (yes, we have the same name) bought me some nice big yarn at a sale in Italy (1 kg for 10 euro). Now I have just to go to Italy and start the project... well, I hope to go there for Christmas, so the project is a bit delayed for now! Hugs, Anna Maria |

"Anna MCM" wrote ... I was wondering about the possibility of making a crocheted rug ... Which kind of yarn would you suggest? I would like something easy to wash. Earlier this yr. I went to a Civil War ladies school where we learned how to make rag rugs ... you cut/tear long strips of fabric and crochet them up using single crochet stitch. The fabric strips can be any size you like, from 1 to 2 1/2 inches, but the smaller is easier to crochet than the larger. You don't worry about which side of the fabric is out as you are crocheting. They even taught us how to attach the strips to each other so that you don't have knots ... if I remember it right, the strip of fabric was called a snake and you cut a slit in the head and tail of the snake. You put the head of the new snake thru the tail slit of the one already attached to the rug, then brought the tail of the new snake thru it's own head slit, then pulled tight. This mades a thick sturdy rug or chair pad that you can just throw in the washing machine and dryer. Plus at the class they gave us big wonderful homemade wooden crochet hooks to take home that we used in class to start making our project. Genevieve in Mississippi |
