[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs

[eileen scrivani]

Hi Susan,

When you talk about knitted coil rugs, are you making them out of i-cord? 
When I was a kid I used to make doll rugs out of the tubes that would come 
off of what was called horse reins or a knitting nancy.  Now a days its 
called i-cord.

In fact the class on friday that will teach making a double knitted pouch 
will also teach how to make i-cord.
