All rugged up




Last winter I had a felting frenzy. I was felting all sorts of things. It was the first time and what fun I had. I also got into knitting on huge needles with polar-fleece cut into strips. I created a throw for the couch and a door mat in these pics.
Today I got them out of the cupboard to create the old winter feel again.

    Hmm they are gorgeous. You have me thinking. I need a new rug for our bathroom. The room is pretty big. Do you think the fleece would suit crochet and if so how would I join the strips. I love the colours of your rugs.

    Yes I think you could crochet a rug .Use the biggest hook you can get !!
    For the throw rug I used 10 meters of polar_ fleece .I cut it round like a snails shell, if you know what I mean, that way there are no joins, It felt like I did as much cutting as knitting.To put the blackish color in I knitted in some strips of satin I had.
    I recon crochet polar_fleece would be great !!!!

    These look fantastic. What size needles did you use? They must have been enormous. So great for winter.

    They were the size of broom sticks but shorter
    I should also mention It can be washed in the machine and dryer.
