[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs

[Susan Roe]

With the rugs I do, there are no rags used, you knit strips, whip stitch 
them into a tube, and then join them together as an oval or round rug.  When 
my mother-in-law made her's, she used the yarn that is used to make carpet, 
which is thin, and then she braided her knitted tubes.
