I am so pleased--I have finally finished my braided rug for the kitchen. Braiding a rug is something I have wanted to do since I was a child--in fact I used my Braid-Aids that I bought
way back then--I was surprised to be able to still find them, they've been stored away for so long. I collected wool for months--heavier weight wool than for hooking. The rug is 6 ft in diameter and it used 4 blankets (3 Army and one navy which I dyed) plus 3 long coats. I had a little left over and when I find another army blanket I plan to do a small oval for in front of the sink.

Thanks for checking me out...I am always checking others out, but I always forget the COMMENTS part!!! LOL! I get so engrossed!
Dianne,
I have to tell you, that rug is absolutely beautiful. I love the coloring you used and the darker edge, really is stunning. I haven't braided in years, you tempt me to start up again.
