[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs Susan

[Susan Roe]

When I did it, yes, I used stockenette with only 6 stitches.  I let the 
strip curl inward naturally, but did not close it, just knit and purl 
without joining.  I foundclosing the "tube" as I coiled allowed me to shift 
the edges to keep it from buldging as you turned the end corners.  You could 
just either keep knitting one very, very, long strip, adding pieces of 
colors"scrap yarn" as you finished different projects or kind of make your 
own variation of verigated strips.  I have done one with different shades of 
brown and another one of just one continueing strip in a verigated yarn that 
matched one of my bathrooms.

The color combinations are endless and you can even work it up like 
patchwork rag rugs, with random color changes along with short or longer 
strips as you went.
