RE: Rag rug making using old socks - or applying the loom band principle elsewhere...
I always wondered how this was done @cryptocariad. I've only rugs like this made from rags before but I assume it is a similar process. 😊
Hello @gillianpearce... There are many types depending on whether the material is in strips or not; many people just plait long strips and then sew them... but you can also crochet or knit them the long strips... I thought this process was quite novel because it used 'sock hoops'... genius !
Yep. I've not seen sock hoops before @cryptocariad. Did you manage to finish it? 😊
I started sewing @gillianpearce... I got slightly distracted while deciding on the shape.
I was tempted to try a mad star shape, but then I opted for the shape of the last photo as it would fit better as a door mat at the back of the house - the dog will love chewing it 😆
Story of my life @cryptocariad. 😂
I'll look forward to seeing some photographs of the finished product some time! 😊
😆 Sure... I may be putting an update on this same post later on @gillianpearce.
I wait with bated breath (whatever that is) @cryptocariad! 😂
