z. Raggety Rugs – Shaggy Rugs – Recycling Fabric
I made these some while ago while being quite homeless and waiting for a new abode. All materials for these raggety, shaggy rugs were obtained very cheaply from the local co-op shop.
I am not going into overly long details as the pictures pretty much tell the whole story and these shaggy rugs from re-cycled fabrics are quite easy to make.

z. Crochet Booties – keep warm and clean floors!
Continuing my journey from “Lessons from my first Crochet Booties“, this next pair of booties now has much thicker soles and has narrower soles. The narrower soles creates a snuggier, firmer fit.
This is not a full tutorial. It is more of a guide and pointer lesson – what worked and what needs improvement. As far as the booties are concerned, I am very much in the experimental stage.
