Well, we've been away for 3 days having a bit of a mid-winter holiday (actually our 9th wedding anniversary). We headed directly across the country from our lovely coast on the West to the lovely coast on the East to a place we hadn't been before. The weather was wild and stormy but there were enough dry spells to get out and enjoy ourselves the same as if it has been sunny weather anyway! We stayed in a cosy little cottage on a large sheep station right next to the beach.
Anyway, here is the ragrug finished before we went away (just need to slip stitch the end). It could easily be twice as wide in diameter, but I think I'm *done*. It is a perfect little size for Danielle's room and the colours look lovely with her things.

I love the way your rug turned out.
I have been wanting to make something similar and have huge bags full of old t-shirts that I could use. Do you have a "How To" link to help get me started? thanks.
Love it!
Lovely colours Nikki. I like it. Happy wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary N&S!
I love the rug, and also would love a how-to link. I've been saving some clothes for re-fashioning, but I borrowed Mum's sewing machine about 2 months ago and I haven't even taken the cover off. Think it's time I gave up on that idea! I'm sure I have lots of stuff that could turn into a nice rug instead :)
Leeza and Free, this is how I got started.

It doesn't have exact how to's and I couldn't find any instructions on the net that do. It's very much done by touch and how it looks.
I just used my largest hook which is a 6mm.
thanks for the link.
