[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs

[Carolyn Lapp]

hi carol,
thank you so much for responding to my post. i have never made a rag rug and 
would love to try crocheting one. i would need a list of necessary supplies 
and easy to follow instructions. i have been crocheting simple items since i 
was 12 years old and am always looking for new things to make. i would 
appreciate any help you could give me. thanks again and take care.
