Handmade gifts.

I made a lot of handmade items to give as gifts this Christmas. Almost everyone in my family received a crochet rag rug that I made from thrifted sheets and fabrics. Since they've all been given out at this point, I decided to share some photos of them here. Bowie seemed to think they were for him.

  3. Amy, I didn't use a pattern at all. I've never really been able to follow a crochet pattern. Crochet is a really good technique to free-form with so I just kind of made it up as I went along. After I cut the fabric strips from old sheets I got the largest crochet hook that I had and started a single crochet chain. I think I made the first chain about a foot or so long before I started back in the other direction. From there on out I just continued in a circular direction around the whole thing until it got to the size that I wanted it.
