We have been invited to a Country House weekend next month by friends celebrating a 70th birthday. Very posh. So I went to the most upmarket charity shop in town last week to see if I could find something to wear. I purchased 3 new jumpers - two are lambs wool so need hand washing.
So 3 worn out jumpers had to go. I am very strict as I am trying to reduce storage areas - what is the point of filling up valuable space with clothes you don't wear (out of date, no occasion to use, wrong size, worn out)?
So 3 worn out jumpers joined the worn out fleeces in being prepared to be made into a rag rug!
Now the evenings are dark it is a comfortable activity stitching the plaited "worms" together sitting in front of the log fire. I need about 20 of these - they are about 6 ft long! There is nothing much on TV needing full attention so I will be pleasantly occupied till Christmas.
I spend the evenings knitting something that doesn't take loads of attention after I have the pattern down. A cup of tea or hot chocolate, a bit of television and my knitting in hand makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your rag rug once finished.
God bless
Great idea and a brilliant use of old products.
ReplyDeleteI really love this wormy rug. I prefer it to the pom pom one I'm currently making so may use all the pompoms elsewhere. Catriona
ReplyDeletePom Poms - how does that work? Now I will have to look that up in Pininterest!
