Is there a source for pre-cut strips (bolts) of fabric for crocheting rag rugs?

Thank you for the slipknot tip to put the strips together. So much more appealing than sewing them all together since I’m sure that by the time I got it sewed together I’d lose my ambition to actually make the rug. Such a lucky pooch to have such a nice doggy rug too!

Well good morning! And thank you.

I bought a duvet cover for my thick blanket, I cannot remember the name of those, and since it was bought at a thrift store, I thought I got a great deal.

I get home and there is a hole in it. Not a huge one, one that I could darn if I wanted to. But I decided I really don’t like the pattern.

Cut up in stripes the pattern will not look the same, and the color is so pretty.

So guess what is going to be a rug, or rugs?

Thank you for the idea. I have an ‘s’ hook around here some where….

I love your rug! I like how you joined the pieces together with a slip knot.

This is a great way to use up old fabrics – thanks for sharing!

I have to try and find a knit version of this. And to make the time to cut up the strips. Thanks for the inspiration! .-= Ellen´s last blog ..Dads and Grads Who Knit =-.

I am impressed by your ability to repurpose. I’ve been saving my hay bale string because of you.

We usually use the old sheets for wash rags or crumpled up dog beds, but this is great!

I love the dog sitting on the rug! Thank you for the instructions. I really need to make one…or at least attempt one.
